Gmail Composing Your Emails

Composing Your Emails

Now when you compose an email a separate pop up window appears in the lower left hand corner of your account. This allows you to see your inbox while writing your emails.

 

 

Allow Anyone On Google+ To Email You

This new development is extremely recent and has caused a little controversy. It basically allows you to email anyone who is connected to you on Google+, and they can do the same. The main concern that arises is if this could be misused or not? You will be happy to know that you can opt out of this if you wish.

This new feature can be seen when you compose a new email. Just start typing the email address or a person’s name and a list will display. You will notice a section underneath that says Google+ connections, so you can include them if you wish.

To enable or disable this feature go to Settings – General then scroll down until you see Email settings:

Your options include emailing:

• Anyone on Google+


• Extended Circles


• Circle


• No One

It is important to understand that people aren’t going to suddenly start emailing you out of the blue. You can still select who to send your emails too and your email address has not been suddenly made public. Your Google+ connections can only see your email address once you have sent them an email, or they you.

Note: As with any new feature this is being rolled out and not available to every Gmail user yet. You will receive a link to notify you of when this update is available.
