   See all settings.
3. At the top, click Chat and Meet.
4. Next to “Chat position,” select Left side of the inbox or Right side of the inbox.

View spaces and your inbox at the same time

In Gmail, spaces open in full-screen mode. Instead, open a space in a pop-up so you can multitask in Gmail while keeping an eye on the space activity.

Learn how

Open a space as a pop-up

1. On a computer, open Gmail.
2. Do one of the following actions:

See new messages at the top of a thread

By default, Gmail shows the most recent message in a conversation at the bottom of the thread. If you want to see new messages at the top of the thread, you can install an extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Learn how

Reverse messages in a conversation thread

1. Open the Chrome Web Store.
2. On the left, in the search box, enter a search term, such as Gmail reverse conversation.
3. When you find the extension that you want, click Add to Chrome. Some extensions might need certain permissions or data.
4. Click Add extension to confirm.

Prevent horizontal scrolling in an email

Sometimes, you might need to scroll horizontally to see an entire message due to a large image or table. You can avoid having other people scroll horizontally in your messages by checking a few things before you hit Send.

Learn how

Prevent scrolling in messages you send

1. In Gmail, open the message.
2. If there’s a table in your message or if you’re pasting text, check if it has a fixed width.
3. If you use an email signature, make sure there isn’t an image in it that’s causing a wide signature.

Remember to follow up with nudges

You can choose whether to see old messages at the top of your inbox with a suggestion to reply or follow up. Show or hide these suggestions by going to your Gmail settings.

Get email from another email platform

To get email from another app, your administrator needs to turn on IMAP and POP.

In Gmail, you can get email from another app, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail. To get email from another app, you need to turn on IMAP, remove folder size limits on IMAP messages, and show all IMAP folders that you want to include from the other app.

Learn how

Turn on IMAP, remove folder size limits, and show all folders

Tips for sending email

If you decide you don't want to send an email, you have a short time after to cancel it. Right after you send a message, you can retract it:

Learn how

 Recall an email with Undo Send

1. In the bottom left, you'll see "Message sent" and the option to "Undo" or "View message".
2. Click Undo.

Choose an amount of time to recall a message

Send pre-written emails with email templates

Tired of typing the same reply every time someone sends you email with a common question? Compose your reply once and save the email as a template. You can also include your signature. Later, you can open the template and send it again with just a few clicks.

Note: Email templates are available only in Gmail on the web. Templates aren't available in Gmail mobile apps.

Tip: If you're a Workspace Individual subscriber, you can create a branded email and send it to many recipients at once. Learn more at the Gmail Help Center.

Save time—message large groups with one address

If you send email or event invites to the same people all the time, create a Google Group for them. The next time you compose a message, send email to the group to reach everyone at once. You can use the same group to schedule Google Calendar meetings.

Learn how

Create a group email address

1. Sign in to Google Groups.
2. At the top, click Create group.
3. Enter information and choose settings for the group. Here are some suggested settings:
   • Who can view conversations: Only members of the team (if you want to keep project communications private.
   • Group members: Email address of each person on the project team
   • Group managers: Email address of any team member who might need to add others to the team later.
   • Directly add members: Turn this option On so you can control who joins the group.
4. Click Create group.

Wait a few minutes for your new group to become active before sending a message to it. Otherwise, you might get a notification that your message couldn't be delivered.

Use Gmail to send a PDF from Acrobat

You can send Adobe PDF files directly from Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader using Gmail. To do this, you have to allow access to your Gmail account. For security reasons, your administrator might have disabled this option.
