Google's New "Smart Reply" Can Write Your Email Response For You

It's not quite SkyNet from Terminator yet, but Google's new Inbox feature can write your emails for you.

Inbox, the alternative Gmail app, rolled out the new feature this week.  We've shared a Cool Tip on how Inbox can organize your email inbox.

When you reply to an email, Inbox recommends three short replies.  Google creates the suggestions based upon its learning of your email contents and habits.


Google Inbox Smart Reply

This is a great way to quickly reply with just one tap.

In addition, it can assist you in starting your reply and allow you to add additional information to your reply.

Google Inbox Smart Reply


"Smart Reply" uses neural machine learning to recognize which emails need a response and to craft appropriate suggestions.  The more you use the service, the better it will become.

You can download the iPhone app HERE and the Android version HERE.

Enjoy!

Try These Two Gmail Address Hacks - Best of One Cool Tip

We're running Best of One Cool Tip while we're away on a very cool project.  We'll be back soon with all new Cool Tips!


 Try These Two Gail Address Hacks

Wondering why you are getting some spam that slips through filters?  

Probably because you signed up when using an account and the email looks legit.

How can you tag emails that you use when you sign up for unimportant websites? 

One solution is a "throwaway" email.  But that can get tiring.  

Another solution is to use an email address that you can set up a filter to send to the spam folder.

Here's the first solution to hack your gmail email address to make it specific:
  • Add Additional Text - You can add a "+" (plus) sign and then add any combination of letters or numbers after your email address.   For example, onecooltipcom+yahoospam@gmail.com works fine.  Add the extra letters when you sign up for a required account and you'll see who sold off your email in the future.  You can also  use the extra letters to filter incoming email.
The second option shows how you can add a period in your email address:
  • Add a Period - You can insert a "." (period) anywhere in your email address to the left of the @ sign.  For example, the email address onecooltipcom@gmail.com and onecooltip.com@gmail.com both equally work.

     Both of these hacks show  you can "mark" your email address to indicate something unique.  When you see an incoming email, you can then see where the marketer got your email.

     Enjoy!

    How to Use Two Google Accounts Simultaneously

    Many internet users have more than one email account.

    Over time, we've collected Gmail, YAHOO, Hotmail and maybe even still have an AOL email.

    It's not a problem to be logged in to two different services at the same time using two browser tabs, for example, Google and YAHOO.

    But it's a problem when using more than one services at a time, for example, two Google email accounts.  

    Logging in to Google more than once in a browser doesn't work since Google uses cookies to keep you logged into the various Google services like search, YouTube and Gmail.

    But there is an easy solution.

    Open the second account in a new tab using the browser's Incognito mode.  

    In the Chrome browser, it's in the menu options in the top right.  Or just use  Ctrl + Shift + N.

    New Incognito Window - One Cool Tip

    With Microsoft Edge browser, open a new InPrivate window.

    Enjoy!

    Default E-Mail App Isn't Always Your Friend

    The default email apps that are preloaded on the iPhone and Android devices aren't always the best solution.

    Especially if you are using a major service like Gmail or Yahoo.

    In the case of the iPhone and iPad, the Gmail or Yahoo apps will allow you access more information and e-mail features than are available with Apple's pre-loaded app.

    One example is the ability to search archived messages.

    Usually, the default time is 3 months of syncing between a hosted a e-mail service and the local device.  But with years of archived messages, the Apple mail app is of little use if you need to search for an email before then.

    However, the iOS Gmail or Yahoo e-mail apps offer the ability to do these searches and other service-specific features.

    And in the case of Gmail, the new Inbox app offers other great features not available in the default app found on the iPhone or Ipad.  Read the full Cool Tip about Inbox HERE.

    For Android devices, the default app is good for Gmail.  Some mobile operators and device makers are slow to allow default app updates so get the latest features from Gmail directly by downloading the Gmail app yourself.

    You can also download the Gmail Inbox app from Google Play HERE.  The same thing goes for the Yahoo app for Android.

    Enjoy!

    Google Gmail Logo

    Did you get your girlfriend and your wife's email mixed up?  Only kidding.

    • Click the "gear" Setting icon in the upper right-hand corner.
    • Select "Settings".
    • Select "general" tab if not already.
    • About half-way down, look for the "Undo Send" option.  
    • Click the check box to "Enable Undo Send".
    • Click the dropdown box to choose 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
    • Scroll tot he bottom of the page and click the "Save Changes" button.
    When you next send an email, a message will appear that says "Your message has been sent.  Undo.".  Click the Undo option to unsend the message.  Your message will not be sent.  You can edit or close the message and return it to your draft folder.

    That's it!  Save yourself some grief by turn this new feature on.

    Enjoy!
