Trouble using new Gmail Inbox? See How to Configure Tabs in Gmail?

Gmail Logo - Computer tweaks


If you are a Gmail user, you have now seen Tabs in your Gmail. By default these tabs are: "1) Primary 2) Social & 3) Promotional". Some people would have liked this change as they might not be seeing promotional stuff directly in their Primary Inbox. Few might have hated it because now they cant see the stuff coming from Facebook in their primary inbox. Gmail's new tabs is an exceptional feature so far. You only need to know how to use it.

Do you know? You can configure these tabs. You can actually decide what tabs will be there in your Gmail out of available options. So let me directly take you to configure Gmail Tabs. 

Step 1] After login, click on Settings (The Gear Button near right top), see the picture for reference and click on "Configure Inbox".


Step 2] After clicking "Configure inbox", you will see options to be displayed in the tabs of your Gmail Inbox. You can simply select or deselect tabs that will appear in your inbox.

Depending upon some criteria Google classifies your emails in different tabs. For an example your Facebook, G+ notifications will land in Social Tab. While Mailers, specially run by Online Marketing Softwares go under Promotional. Direct emails and other that do not go under any category land in Primary. If you want any email in another tab, you can also do that. 

Moving an email to another tab:

Click on the email you want to move, and drag it to the tab you want.

You will be prompted about the Move, you can also make further conversations from the same email into the new tab where you have moved it.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files.
