Search operators:
Gmail search becomes very powerful with the use of search operators, or words that help modify your queries. For example, when ou want a specific email sent by Gary containing a DOC file, type from:gary has:attachment. Similarly, if you want to find all unread messages in your inbox sent directly to you, simply type to:me is:unread in:inbox.

Filter your email:
Gmail does not just give you a name@gmail.com address to ypu when you sign up. There are several other address variations, all of which get delivered to you. Just append an [+] symbol and any combination of words or numbers after your name such as changing garyqm@gmail.com to garyqm+forum@gmail.com or garyqm+temp@gmail.com. You can now add a filter to label and/or archieve messages sent with the variations so that tey don't clutter your inbox. you can conveniently go to the specific label to retrieve the email you sent.
Reduce annoying prompts:
Quite often, we realise we don't need to compose an email to send short notes to our friends. In fact just the subject line entire message. however, the underlying code within Gmail still prompts you to add body text and gives annoying javascript prompts. This is meant to prevent you from inadvertently sending a blank email. To do away within the error, just add EOM or (EOM) at the end of the subject line (short for End Of Message), and Gmail will send the message without the extra prompt.
