View Article  Multiple Signatures in GMail for Different E-Mail Addresses
It's here at last - out-of-the-box GMail functionality to have multiple signatures. If like you me, you run a number of different e-mail addresses in Google for different things, and you wanted to have a separate signature for each of them, previously you had to use a GreaseMonkey script, browser plug-in, canned responses or something along those lines. However, I logged in today, to see under Settings > General under the signature section, you can now specify a different signature for each e-mail address that you have - as well as using colors and fonts that you wanted. Now if they could only be put at the bottom of my e-mail text, rather than the bottom of the message as a whole ;-)
View Article  How to View Unread Emails in GMail
Out-of-the-box, there's no "show unread emails" option in GMail or GoogleMail as you get in say Outlook. Fortunately, in addition to your own user defined labels, there's also some system labels that are not displayed in your list of labels in the left hand navigation. One of these labels enables you to view unread e-mails. To view all (and only) unread messages in your Gmail or GoogleMail account type "label:unread" (or "l:unread") (not including the quotation marks) in the Gmail search field then click on "Search Mail". You can also combine these with other criteria, such as "label:unread from:ben".
