Gmail Tips and Tricks
Narrow Your Search
Typing in any of these operators will get you a more refined search.
-To find messages matching keyword A or keyword B, type "OR" in all caps, for example: from:amy OR from:david.
-Find specific types of files with "filename:" for example: filename:jpg.
-Search messages within a certain period with "after:" and "before:" for example: after:2014/04/30 before:2014/05/06.
Increase or Decrease the View Density
To alter your view in Gmail to allow more space between objects and make it a little easier to read, select the gear icon on the top right, then select the "Comfortable" display density. This will increase the space between emails, and add more white space in the right side navigation. Alternatively, you can select "Cozy" or even "Compact" to decrease the space, allowing more info on the screen at once.
