How to Go Back to the Old Gmail

Q: I am trying to get used to the new Gmail web design, but I do not like it. Can you go back to the old one?

A: Currently, Google stores a previous version of Gmail on the Web. You can restore the old appearance from the inbox screen. Just click the gear setting icon in the upper right of the screen and select "Return to Classic Gmail" from the menu.

Before screen returns to old Gmail design, you may be asked to provide Google with motivation to undo. This step is optional. If you have a specific reason you do not like the revised version, you have the opportunity to provide feedback here.

For those who are still familiar with layout and design even though switching to a new version, you can change the appearance of the window to better suit your taste. For example, you can display or hide the text label next to the icon on the left side of the window by clicking the three row menu button in the upper left corner of the Gmail window.

In the new version of Gmail, three styles of default, comfortable and compact are available. You can use this to adjust how the new message is displayed in the Inbox list. To see which one you like the most, click the setting icon and select Display density. To change the background color of the Gmail window, select a theme from the menu under the gear icon

You can change the appearance and behavior of Gmail by selecting "Settings" from the gear menu and clicking the "General" tab. You can adjust the number of messages displayed on each screen of your inbox, whether or not the program will follow up a specific message, and whether you can "undo" the message you just sent to be incorrect . manner

Email - This is ironic. We saved everything. If you go to my Gmail account - do not do - if you enter my Gmail account, I have an email of $ 49,000. I have them all; from 2007 or 2009, I can look back at my email. Of course they are there, probably worse than being ridiculous, as I think that I will do someday. I just do not mind, I do not mind tidying up them. So they are all there. But their accessibility, this is an important issue you've raised earlier, not my historical interest, it is an important historical person and we do not have their communication. You mentioned Hamilton - I think the founder, Jefferson and Adams quoted Musical Hamilton and in the musical say "History is watching you."

When Gmail was released in 2004, most people thought it was a April Fool's joke. This is a dramatic advance as a web service, with the intuitive AJAX UI and most e-mail client operations via 1 GB (!) Storage. Today, Gmail is more active than 1 B per month and is steadily growing. Google currently offers few services other than search, but more and more products are beginning to form a series of Google services. Over time, an important part of Gmail's puzzle is the product naming architecture - and how this key binds all of these services.

Google, a major search engine and technology company, launched a new Gmail web client on April 25th and made a new upgrade focusing on its features and productivity, security, and ease of use. Updated e-mail clients are currently rolled out collectively. However, you can try a new design by going to Settings (click the block icon in the upper right corner) and selecting the "Reset new Gmail" option. You can also go back to the old client. If the new look is confusing, go back to this setting and select "Back to Classic Gmail" again.
