Gmail
Where do you go to find and delete archived emails?

Filter Email
We have an email address that sometimes shows up pldjnio@gmail.comu. notice the U at the end. We need to get rid of it.


Email Photos
If someone gets a "picture - email" where the picture has a size 3840 pixels X 2160 pixels (a large file) I can't look at the picture on the email without moving the picture up and down as side by side with the pointer, to see the focus point of the picture!


Is there a way "I, the receiver of the mail and picture" can resize the image so it is viewable on the screen without maneuvering?



Yes, right-click on the picture and Save image as...

Finding Photos

I have saved a photo from an email, which said photo in My Drive. Where is it, and how can I find it? Is there any other way to save photos?



In the email click the download button



At the Save As dialog screen, notice at the top where the image is being saved. Change this by choosing a folder in the left column. Click to select the File name and change it to something useful. Then click the Save button and the photo is saved on your computer.

Identifying Plants
Thanks to Donna: Quite often we have individuals post on Nextdoor that they need help identifying a plant, and recently someone posted this website

Change PDF To Excel
Using excel spreadsheets is an important business and personal necessity. Those who are using Excel know the difficulty when receiving files in the PDF format. Using this PDF to Excel converter, you will be able to get all of the data you need from a PDF without going through the trouble of typing it in yourself. There are plenty of methods of converting file types, but this software is not only the best quality and easiest to use, but it is also at an unbeatable price. Nowhere else will you find a PDF to Excel converter for such an affordable cost.

Why You Should Delete Emails Instead of Archiving Them
We’ve all been trained to archive every email we get. After all, we have basically infinite storage, and we can just find all the emails we need with a quick search, right? Makes sense. But that’s a trap.
