Information Madness

Sometimes shortcuts are handy when you work on multiple things. So here is a way to make a shortcut to your unread emails in Gmail in Firefox.

Gmail makes it easy to bookmark different parts of itself. For instance: you can book mark your in-box at mail.google.com/mail/#inbox. That keyword after the pound sign is the key. Change that to #sent and you can book mark your sent e-mail.

To find unread emails in Gmail, you have to type is:unread in:inbox in the search box. Once you get the search results, which should be your unread mail, bookmark, bookmark the URL. You can even drag it to the firefox toolbar.

But here is the more easier shortcut to your gmail unread emails.

Go to your bookmarks and right-click on the bookmark you just created and select properties.

In the keyword field, type a name you'll easily remember like GU.

Next, open a new tab. Type GU in the address bar and press enter. -- The moment you type in GU, you will be taken directly to your unread emails.
