Q.
What does the star in Gmail mean and how can I use this function in my own
e-mail?
A.
First, let's begin with a brief explanation of what Gmail actually is, just in
case some of you aren't sure. Gmail (which can be found at
www.gmail.com) is Google's version of an e-mail program. It is one of the
top free e-mail services online today, offering 2.8 GB of storage space and a
very easy to use interface.
With that said, one of the
new features introduced in Gmail is "starring." By starring a message in Gmail,
the user is able to place a graphic reminder next to an e-mail that may be a
little more important than some of the others. With this feature, you no longer
have to mark an e-mail as "Unread" to remind yourself that you need to deal with
that e-mail ASAP.
Instead, you just mark the
e-mail with a star and it will help you to remember that you need to respond to
that e-mail. To star a message of your own, just look for the white star
graphic, located to the right of the checkbox for the message you would like to
select. Click on it and the graphic will then become a yellow star to show that
it has been starred.
