Among the few flaws in Gmail, there is one for which, in order to compose a new mail message, it is necessary to open a new window. However, there are some tricks that allow you to write a Gmail message in a new window: by holding down the Shift key when clicking on the red button to compose or by pressing the "pop-out" icon at the top right of the composition window.
Now Gmail is launching a new way of writing messages, integrated in the Google Mail interface, which is very similar to that of the Chat.
Currently this mode of writing is optional for users who, starting today, should see a warning in which to choose whether to activate the new interface or whether to stay with the traditional one.
Obviously, I recommend that you immediately switch to the new, much more comfortable mode of writing, which makes it easier to keep other emails in view, without having to close the new message you are writing.
The composition window appears in the right corner of the page and, like chats, it is also possible to write two or more messages together or hide the writing window to resume it later.
On the composition window, the buttons for formatting the message are hidden and are visible again by clicking at the bottom, on the A underlined at the bottom near the Send button, where there is also the button to send an attachment.
With the + button you can instead add photos to the message or Emoticons, invitations or links.
Spell checking is activated by pressing the arrow next to the trash can.
Pressing on the recycle bin, you delete the message which, otherwise, is automatically saved in the drafts if you close the window.
At the top, recipients can be added, including carbon copy (CC) or hidden (CCN) consignments.
Another novelty of this writing mode is the possibility of being able to move recipients from To: to CC or CCN with the mouse.
At the same time, the way we respond to messages is improved with a more compact window, to optimize conversation style .
In reply messages the hidden content (which is the previous message), is discovered by pressing the icon with three dots.
The best improvement is the appearance of a button in the message reply writing section, to switch to Reply all, Forward or Start a new conversation .
It also becomes easier to add new recipients or edit them.
The video below explains visually the new way of writing messages in Gmail.
