Ever get frustrated with Gmail? … here are a couple of useful tips.

1. Quickly find all the messages ever sent to you from one person.

Look for the show search options at the top of the email screen, and click on it. After you click on it, another box will pop up where you can insert the email address and/or other info to help you locate the emails. I simply put in the email address and that’s enough for me.
