<p>What's the best thing about Gmail? Yes, it has so many cool features, but the fact that it keeps evolving and including new features frequently is what I love the most. That also means that no matter how long you've been a Gmail user, it's possible there's some hidden gem you're not aware of. So, today I'll share some useful Gmail tips to spice up your everyday usage of this tool. Some of these might be familiar, some entirely new. Here we go.</p><p>1. MuteYou are likely to find this feature in all such Gmail lists out there and I still continue to be surprised by the ignorance about it. Just yesterday I was at an event and brought it up in a conversation about Gmail. Some of the blank faces were proof enough that more word needs to be spread about this awesome feature. In a nutshell, this feature basically lets you ignore a message thread that you no longer want to be a part of. Here's a nice guide on how to use Gmail's Mute feature effectively.</p><p>2. Selective quoting in repliesI knew about this too but I was pleasantly surprised at this one getting traction in Hacker news recently. Certainly a useful one. When replying an email, if you just want to quote (or highlight) a part of the email that you received, all you need to do is select it and then click the reply button. Instead of quoting the entire email, Gmail will only show that specific part to the recipient.</p><p>3. Using the gems in LabsI am sure almost all of you know about Gmail Labs that can be accessed from its settings. Gmail keeps releasing new Labs features every now and then, and unless you diligently follow tech news like me, chances are you don't know about many of them. Why not pay a visit to the Labs page again and try out some. Some of which that I use are Mark as Read button, Multiple Inboxes and Quick Links.</p><p><a href="http://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/features/8-useful-tips-to-turbocharge-your-gmail-experience-317097">Keep reading...</a></p>
