Today, the number of applications and plug-ins that have joined this email manager is intended to make our experience in Gmail much more enjoyable. Thanks to these complements we will be able to perform many actions and discover functions that we do not even imagine exist.
These applications, tricks and plug-ins will help us optimize the use of Gmail, so that we take advantage of our time and effort as much as possible. We all like to have the best facilities and comforts possible, so we will offer you the possibility of becoming a Gmail professional.
1. Find out which websites are selling your email address
You all know that many times we sign up for certain pages and that as a result we have received a lot of spam. This means that certain websites have sold our email address to other pages. If we want to know what are the guilty websites, we can find out as follows.
Gmail recognizes the + sign that now allows you to create an alternative version of our mail. This means that if our email was, we will now be able to register anywhere with the same address but adding + (xxxx), that is, something that identifies our “new address” such as emails will continue to arrive at our original email address, but if we see a spam email that has sent your message to this alternative address, we will know that the website where we enter this new email has sold our address. In this way we will be able to assess whether we are interested in that subscription or not.
2. Use Gmail offline
Nowadays being connected via network or WiFI to our devices is something that is almost essential for us. The problem comes when, for some reason, we cannot do it. If we want to be able to check our Gmail emails without the need to be connected either because the connection is slow, unstable or for other reasons
We have the possibility to add the Gmail extension without connection to our Chrome browser, and thus have access to our emails as well as the possibility of writing new ones without having to be connected to the network.

3. Find out who and when they read your emails (even in groups)
When we send an email many times we can have the doubt that time will come, have you read it? So that these and other doubts of this type about whether they have read your emails are not around your head, the Chrome extension of MailTrack.io will let you know exactly when your email has been sent (a check mark) and when it was opened (two check marks).
The good thing about this application is that this information will also be provided to us even if our email was sent to several recipients . If we want we can also activate a pop-up alert on our desktop to inform us of this.
There will be no excuses to tell you that your messages were not read or that they did not arrive on time if it really did not happen.

4. Know what emails are being tracked
Now we put ourselves on the opposite side because as we all know, who made the law cheated. Suppose that we are now the ones who want to know about the emails that come to us, which of them are being tracked, that is, they inform the sender of when we receive it and when we open it.
Well, with this application we will be able to prevent misunderstandings since, prior to the opening of the message, we will know if the issuer will find out when opening it . With this extension of Chrome, the messages that are being tracked will show the symbol of an eye that will appear together to those specific emails, warning us that once opened, the sender will be aware of this act.

5. Send self-destruct emails with SnapMail
We may need to give information to a certain person on some occasion, but we do not want it to be registered anywhere. If we use a Chrome extension (SnapMail), we will be able to add the message self-destruct function in Gmail. It is about encrypting our message, so that only a link will arrive to the recipient, who after accessing it, will be informed that this email will self-destruct in 60 seconds. At this time the extension only encrypts the content of the text. It is as easy as selecting when sending our “SnapMail” message instead of sending.
In this simple way you will be able to send messages of self-destruction, being calm that your information is safe.

6. For a personalized and more orderly inbox
If we install the SortD application in our Gmail, we will be able to transform our inbox into a set of lists that we can customize to adapt our emails to our preferences. We can change the names of the lists, add as many as we want, that is, adapt it to our mode of use.
