Where's the Mail!

Many times have I tried to find an email, but I just can't. It can become so frustrating to search through folders and folders, full of mail. In the end, it is just impossible sometimes to find that one email with the info you need. However, if you use Gmail and Firefox, or Google Chrome, there is a solution! A browser plug in called CloudMagic is a quick and convenient way to find certain emails. Much like Windows' built in search, and Mac OS X's Spotlight, CloudMagic indexes your email and allows you to find mail quickly and easily. Once installed, log into Gmail and you will notice the search box for CloudMagic in the top right corner. To set it up, click on the drop down menu and click "Manage Accounts". Put in your credentials and it will start indexing your email. After that, head back to Gmail and you can now use CloudMagic to search through your emails. In addition, if you are composing a message and need info from another message, use CloudMagic to search for that message and copy the information you need. No need to tab to another page and find the message. This is a growing addon and will support other mail clients soon, so make sure to check back on their website!

  3. Angel: Although most companies have some sort of feature like this, it is not as thorough as this one.
