Google Mail - Send & Archive
I am all about taking fewer clicks to do a task. Likewise, working for a school district, I am all about archiving everything but the obvious junk mail - I can access it, but it isn't clogging up my inbox. Because of these facts, one of the Google Mail features I don't think I could survive without is the Send & Archive. The ability to - with ONE click - reply to an email and archive it saves me about 3 seconds per email...which adds up quickly! To enable Send & Archive, go to the settings (by clicking the Gear)- Look under the General tab, about half way down to find the option to turn on this feature - Once enabled, you will have an additional send button that is blue - this one will send your reply and archive the email out of your mailbox -
