Is this course for you?

Email should take minutes a day, not hours. Gmail already has the tools.

You will get the most from it if you…

spend too much of each day managing email
have hundreds of unread messages
run more than one email account
want an inbox system that keeps working

By the end you will be able to…

clean up your inbox with archiving, deleting and bulk actions
organise mail with labels, stars and snooze
process messages automatically with filters
reply faster with templates and keyboard shortcuts
manage several accounts, delegate your inbox and set a vacation reply
