Gmail is one of the most used email providers in the world. Google has not only been able to take Hotmail users away in the past, but has also made their Google account essential for those who use any of its services, such as Android or Chrome. Although the company tries to offer users the best experience when using their mail, it often leaves something to be desired. Luckily, thanks to Chrome extensions, we can improve it ourselves.
Next, we are going to leave you with 4 extensions for Google Chrome with which we will not only be able to give a unique and different touch to the Google mail service to feel more comfortable when working with it, but we will also be able to even make it more useful.
Mailtrack
I have sent an email, but the recipient has opened it? By default, Gmail doesn’t let us know, but thanks to Mailtrack we will be able to keep track of the messages we send. This extension, which we can use totally free, although some advanced functions are paid for, is responsible for adding a tracker to our email messages to know if it has been delivered correctly, and to know if the recipient has opened it. It uses a mark similar to WhatsApp, where a ✓ indicates that you have received it, and a ✓✓ that you have read it.
Google Mail Checker
Of course, an essential extension that should be part of Chrome by default. This extension, developed by Google, basically places an icon to the right of the address bar and periodically checks if we have new emails in the inbox . When an email arrives, the extension displays a notification with a number to notify us that we have pending emails. Clicking on this icon automatically opens the Gmail inbox to read the mail.
Simplify Gmail
One of the best experiments that Google could launch years ago was Inbox. This alternative inbox allowed users to remove all the superfluous and unnecessary features that we find within the Gmail inbox and allowed us to have an inbox based on the “Inbox zero” concept. Unfortunately, Google decided to do away with this alternative inbox and force all users to use the original Gmail, which is increasingly full of unnecessary features and bloatware.
Thanks to Simplify Gmail we will be able to convert the Gmail inbox into a new Inbox, achieving a much cleaner and more organized inbox, where the only important thing is the email.
inboxy
Finally, if you have a lot of emails and you don’t know how to organize them, thanks to Inboxy it will be a breeze. This extension is open source, and what it allows us to do is join all the emails that have the same label in a single thread. In this way we will be able, on the one hand, to have a more organized inbox, and on the other filter, or delete, several similar emails, which do not interest us, at once.
