New Features Coming to UMBC Gmail
A brand new look, advanced security features, and more
Google has announced a new design and several new features for its Gmail platform focused on helping users work safer, smarter and more efficiently.
New features include:
A more powerful inbox Archive, delete, mark as read or unread, and snooze messages to a later date directly from your inbox. You can even view attachments all without needing to open up the message.
Nudge reminders Gmail can now proactively remind you to follow up or respond to messages.
Confidential Mode Set expiration dates, restrictions on forwarding, downloading, or copying contents of an email, or require the recipient to enter a password sent via SMS before gaining access to the email.
The New Side Panel Quickly reference, create or edit Calendar invites, capture ideas in Keep or manage to-dos in Tasks all from a side panel in your inbox.
Smart Replies Respond to messages faster by using one of Google's suggested responses.
To try out the new design and features, go to Gmail’s Settings (the gear icon) and click “Try the new UMBC Mail.”
If you decide you aren't quite ready to stick with the new design, you can switch back to the existing design from the Settings menu by clicking “Go back to classic UMBC Mail.” However, be aware that Google will be moving forward with this design and will remove the ability to return to the existing design at a later date.
