Preview an Email BeforeOpening it on Gmail

If you use a tablet, the Gmail
interface is a lot different from
the browser version. An
advantage of the tablet like
interface is that, we can preview
an email before we open it.
When time is in short supply, it is
helpful to get a quick preview of
an email to check if the mail
should be read or left unread.
Enable Preview Pane on Gmail
In Gmail Labs, look search for
Preview Pane and enable the lab
experiment for your Gmail
account.
This will enable your Preview
Pane on your Gmail layout. Now
look up your Inbox and check
the right-hand corner at the top,
we get an option to toggle split-
screen. Clicking on it once, will
allow you to preview emails
without opening them.
Finally you can preview your
email. Under General Settings
you can set the time for a email
to be marked ‘Read’ to ‘ Never‘ if
you do not intend to use this
layout as default.
So what do you think about this
new innovation from Gmail.
There was a trick to use to get
the tablet view on Gmail with
your browser, but option with
toggle makes it a simpler.
