1. Sync with Gmail
Gmail has numerous features that help make emailing less of a headache than it needs to be.
One such feature is to sync your other email accounts with it to be able to use the Gmail features instead.
2. Undo Send
Ever had an email where you clicked send and immediately realized you forgot to add the file?
With Undo send you have up to 30 secs to realize your mistake and fix it before it gets sent out.
This can save you from sending a "sorry forgot the file" email.
3. Automatic Response
Whether you're away on vacation or want to let the person emailing know that you will respond to it during working hours automatic response is great for either.
Set it up once and enjoy the benefits!
4. Customize
Aesthetic matter yet most email services look like they stayed stuck in the 80s.
In Gmail, you can customize almost everything including background and limit emails on page to fit your needs which helps make emailing less of a burden than it needs to be.

Gmail integrates with Google drive allowing you to save important files somewhere easily accessible.
Also, you can sort your emails based on priority, subject, interest, or any other way you want to better manage your emails.

5. Scheduled Send
Sending emails during non-work hours is not always appreciated by recipients, but you also don't want to forget to send it.
Scheduling allows you to compose the post and send it first thing the next day or whatever other time and date you want.
