Today when I check out my Gmail, I found an pop-up of
introducing the new compose in Gmail, I personally like this new feature of it so I am writing what's the feature providing for the users.
Now you can write messages in a cleaner, simpler experience that puts the
focus on your message itself, not all the features around it. Here are
some of the highlights:
- Fast: Compose messages right from your inbox.
- Simple: Redesigned with a clean, streamlined look.
- Powerful: Check emails as you're typing, minimize drafts for later, and even compose two messages at once
#Faster
How many times have you been writing an email and had to reference
something in another message? Saving a draft, opening the old email, and
then reopening your draft wastes valuable minutes. The new compose pops
up in a window, just like chats (only larger).
This makes it easy to reference any other emails without ever having to
close your draft. You can even do a search or keep an eye on new mail
as it comes in. And because the compose window works the same way as
chats, you can write multiple messages at once and minimize a message to
finish it later.
#Easier to use
The new compose is designed to let you focus on what's important: your
message. The controls are still there when you need them but get out of
the way when you don’t. We’ve even added some new features like the
ability to easily insert inline images and have more to come.
And, when you add recipients to your message, you'll see profile
pictures of your contacts in autocomplete helping you find the right
person faster. You can also drag and drop the new address chips between
to:, cc: and bcc:. When you’re done adding recipients, the address area
collapses automatically to get out of your way.
You’ll also see these same changes when you respond to a message. The
reply experience has been designed to fit better inline as part of your
conversation -- replies take up much less vertical height, intelligently
expand to fit your content, and always keep the recipients and other
controls in view no matter how long your message gets.
What's the coming soon feature?
A few familiar features aren’t available yet, but they're working hard to make it available to us soon.
- Insert emoticons and event invitations
- Add labels to outgoing messages from the More menu
- Send read receipts (Google Apps users only)
You can find out more on how to use it at the official
Google Gmail help.
