Make Gmail To Load Faster: Part 2
Note: I wrote this in 2013, back when Gmail still had a separate "Basic HTML" mode, a Labs program, and the nocheckbrowser parameter described below. None of those exist on today's unified Gmail. Keeping this post up as a historical snapshot — see Part 1 for the rest of the series. This post is part of series 'Make Gmail to Load Faster'. You can read Part 1 of this series by clicking here. 1. Use https:// Gmail works on https always to provide security to your data while transferring it between Gmail servers and your machine. So even though you are on http, Gmail will take you on https automatically. But this switching process (from http to https) requires redirect. Which further need nearly 2-3 seconds of time. So if you want to gain those 2-3 second then directly type https://gmail.com or bookmark the login page for feature use.
Make Gmail To Load Faster: Part 1
Note: I wrote this in 2013. Web Clips, the classic-vs-Priority-Inbox toggle, and Gmail Labs — all referenced below — were retired by Google years ago, and the Settings menu has been redesigned since. Keeping this post up for the record. Gmail, an email service from Google and you are using it from a long time. Gmail is one of the most widely used and popular email service. It provides you simple yet powerful interface and functionality to deal with your day to day email communication. Modern Gmail comes with an eye candy interface and with great features. Of course, Gmail works smoothly on most of modern browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox. But still on other hand, on slow internet connection then Gmail takes a huge time to load. Sometime even on fast internet connections, Gmail keeps on showing "Still Working" for a long time. So here are some tricks to make your Gmail faster and quicker. 1. Reduce maximum page size Gmail by default loads 50 email threads as soon as you log in into your account. So Gmail servers may take some amount of time to collect information about all those 50 emails. If you have enabled priority inbox then Gmail may take more amount of time. If you reduce this number, say to 25 i.e. half of default, then Gmail will take less amount of time to load. You can change maximum page size from Settings then General and then Maximum page size.
How to add Gmail and Yahoo accounts in Windows 8 Mail
Note: This post was written in 2012 for Windows 8 Mail. Windows 8 reached end of support in 2016, and the Mail app has since been replaced by the Outlook app in Windows 11. These steps no longer apply to modern Windows. Windows 8's Mail app has a fresh, modern look and works great if you're signed in with a Microsoft account — your Hotmail or Outlook mail shows up automatically. But it also supports Gmail and Yahoo accounts, which is handy. Here's how to set them up. Step 1: Sign in to the Windows 8 Mail app with your Microsoft account. If you don't have one, sign up — you don't need a new email address, you can use your existing one.
