How To Show 100 messages per page in Gmail inbox

How to Show 100 emails per page in Gmail mailbox

The default number of messages that you can see when you log into your Gmail account is 20 results per page.However, Gmail allows you to show more than 20 messages per page. You can configure your Gmail inbox to show up to 100 results per page. The minimum number of emails that you can show on the first page of your Gmail inbox is 10 emails per page.

There are advantages of showing 100 conversations per page in your Gmail mailbox if you receive a lot of emails each day. Heavy Gmail users may receive something like 30 to 50 emails a day and these can quickly fill up your first page. If you are receiving a lot of emails and your mailbox is set to show the default 20 emails per page, then you will need to go to the next successive pages to view all your new emails. If you are like most people, then you are likely to check the first page only for any new messages, and any new messages in the next pages will be overlooked and missed. To prevent this, you should set your mailbox to show 100 emails per page, so that you can browse all your new messages from the top to bottom.

Setting your mailbox to more than 20 messages per page is also advisable if you do not log into your Gmail account on a daily basis. For example, if you check your mail once or twice a week, then some new messages will accumulate in your inbox. To view all your unread emails for the past days, then you must set your inbox to show more than 20 messages per page i.e. 50 or 100 emails per page. This will allow you to scan all your new emails at once without going to the next page or missing any unread message.

Configuring your Gmail account to show more than 20 visible messages per page is also recommended if you are going for a long vacation. When you come back from a long one-week or one-month vacation, you should be able to view as much of the accumulated emails on the first page as possible.

One disadvantage of viewing 100 emails per page is that all your mail may take a long time to load especially if you have a slow internet connection. To access your mail as quickly as possible, you might need to view as few messages per page as possible i.e. setting your mailbox to show 10 or 20 messages per page. A few results per page should load quickly but you will have a lot of successive pages to navigate to. If you have 50 new messages and your inbox is showing only 10 messages per page, then you will be required to click the NEXT link four times!

Showing 10 or 20 messages per page also allows you to view your unread mail without scrolling down to the bottom. You are able to see your new messages in a compact browser view.

To set Gmail to show more than 20 emails per page in your inbox, you must do the following:

Step 1 – Go to the Gears icon at the top right just below your email address.

Step 2 – Click the Gears icon.

Step 3 – Go to Settings on the drop-down menu.

Step 4 – You should now see the Settings Page.

Step 5 – Under [General] go to “Maximum Page Size”.This is the second part after “Languages”.

Step 6 – Under “Maximum Page Size”, you should see the settings for:

-          [The number of conversations per page]

-          [The number of contacts per page]

Step 7 – Choose the number of conversations to show per page from the drop-down list. You have 10 to   100 messages to show per page.

Step 8 – You can also choose the number of contacts to show per page. You have 50 to 250 contacts to show per page.

Step 9 - Scroll down and Save Settings.

How to Stop Suspicious Gmail Login

Gmail has a security feature to identify a suspicious Gmail Login by an unauthorized person. In the internet world of hackers and identity thieves, your Gmail account is always under constant attacks and threats like any other email service. To alert of you of any actual and potential threats to your account, Gmail will give you a warning when an intruder has logged into your email account from an unfamiliar location. That means if somebody has logged into your account from an unfamiliar territory or IP Address e.g. in another country or state and you have not recently travelled outside the country and checked your mail in the process, then Gmail will send you a warning message [In Red] telling you that somebody has logged into your account.

If you receive a warning about unauthorized activity in your account, then you should check your “Last Account Activity”. This link is found at the bottom right of your Gmail dashboard .Click the [Details] link to see the login activity that has been taking place in the past minutes, hours or days.

When you have a red warning message [ for illegal Gmail Login ] at the top of your Gmail dashboard, it will tell you the country that the intruder has logged from, for example, if the intruder has logged in from Brazil, you will get a message that “.......your account was recently accessed from: Brazil”.You have two options - either to [ignore] the warning if you had recently accessed your mail in Brazil or to click [Show details and preferences] if you believe this is a suspicious login.

When you click [Details] at the bottom right of the page or [Show details...] on the warning message, you should see your recent activity including any activities by the intruder. The activity box will show you the country as well as the associated I.P. addresses that the intruder has logged from.

If you notice any suspicious I.P. addresses and locations, you should immediately change your Gmail password. The activity box will also show you multiple sessions of your browsers and computers where you are currently signed in. You might have forgotten to log out of your Gmail account from another computer or from multiple sessions on your browser. To sign out from multiple browser / computer sessions, you should click the [Sign out all other sessions] on the activity box. This will log you out from all your other currently open sessions in any location and leave you with your current session.

As you sign in and out of your Gmail account on a regular basis, Gmail will take note of these legitimate login sessions. Whenever there is a suspicious login, Gmail will not show the warning message to the suspicious IP address.Therefore, the intruder will not see this message and it will only appear to you the legitimate owner of the account.

This security feature has the ability to detect normal and abnormal activity, so it protects your account from being hijacked or stolen.

Google provides more information for users who believe their accounts have been compromised. Read the security tips here:

How to Go Google Shopping

Google shopping is a price comparison site that allows you to save money by comparing prices from different shops before you buy. The website is easy to use and straightforward. If you are familiar with Ciao, PriceGrabber, Yahoo Shopping, NextTag, ShopZilla, StreetPrices, Pronto and PriceRunner, then you will know how to use the Google Price Comparison site also known as Google Products.

A price comparison site allows you to find the lowest price among the shops which are being compared. It aggregates results from the top shops such as Amazon, Buy.com, NewEgg and others. You can then go buy what you are looking for by clicking the link to the shop. This is the best way to save money because you will realize that there can be a difference of up to $500 in the price range for a specific product of the same quality and by the same manufacturer. A price comparison site gives you all the information that you need to know when shopping for a product. It shows you the shop rates, product description, shop reviews by other customers, product reviews by other customers, as well as the available brands. If you were using a normal Google or Bing search to look for a product, you would have to search the above mentioned items separately and it would take you some time to gather the information. Instead of wasting hours searching the web and going to each and every shop website, why not go to a one-stop shop where all the information has been prepared for you?

How to Search Google Video

Google Video is a web video search engine owned by Google Inc.Established in 2005, the service has transformed from being a video hosting / sharing site to being a search engine solely for searching web videos. Video uploading was terminated in 2009 and since then users are no longer able to upload videos on Google Video servers. During that time, users were allowed to upload videos up to 100MB but that is no longer possible now. Although video uploading was stopped, Google continued to host the videos. On 15 April 2011, the company announced plans to stop video hosting as well but they found out that instead of removing all the previously hosted videos on their servers, the best way is to transfer the videos to YouTube. YouTube is another Google owned service that was bought in 2006 by the search engine giant. Therefore if you have your videos on Google servers you don’t have to worry, you can automatically upload and transfer them to your YouTube account.

Okay the fact is Google Video continues to exist but now as a video search engine. Unlike a video hosting site like YouTube, a video search engine scours the web for relevant videos and shows them in the search results. Google aggregates video search results from many sources such as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, MetaCafe, CNN, Yahoo Videos, Vimeo, GoFish, DailyMotion, 5 Minutes, GameTubeNow and many more. These are videos that can be watched online or embedded on your website. Some sites many allow you to download the videos as well. You will find all types of videos in many categories – commercials, entertainment, educational, television show channels, music channels, news channels, humour, technology, viral videos and many more.

Google Authenticator – How to Stop Hackers & Phishers

How to Protect Your Google Account with Two-Factor Authentication.

This is the year 2012 and we still depend on passwords and usernames to protect our online accounts from being hacked or phished.However, for those with a Gmail or Google account the big company from Mountain View has come up with a better way of protecting your Google account at least on mobile platforms. The method is known as the “Two Step Verification” or “Two Factor Authentication”.

The Two-Factor Authentication is a Google Secure Password that was first released in September 2010 for the Premier, Government and Education editions of Google Apps.On 10 February 2011, Google decided to roll out this feature to everyone including Standard account holders. This means anyone with a Google account can now use this feature on their mobile phones. Since this is an open source application, creative developers are even now exploring its use on many operating systems and software other than mobile platforms. For example, there is already a Google Authenticator for Ubuntu as well as a plugin for Wordpress.

However, the set-up is not all that easy but it takes a few minutes to complete. To set up the G-Authenticator app, you must go to:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and follow the instructions.

How The Gmail Authenticator App Works:

The app adds an extra layer of security to your Gmail mobile phone login. There are two steps or layers involved. The first layer is the existing layer that we all know – this is the interface that requires you to enter your Google login password on the sign in page. You sign in with your username and password as usual, but instead of being taken directly to your account or inbox, you are directed to a second page that requires you to enter a Verification Code. This is a secret code generated by G-Authenticator or sent to your mobile phone via Text Message or Voice Mail by Google. This verification code is temporary and will only remain valid for a few minutes so you must use it as soon as possible before it expires. Once you have received the code, enter the code in the box and click “Verify”. When you are verified, you will then be able to log into your account and view your mail. Google sends the code to the mobile phone number that you used for setting up the Gmail Authenticator app. You might ask, how does this feature protect my account?

Well, phishers and hackers are always looking to decipher and steal your Google password. Without a second layer of protection, an attacker can break into your account when he/she gets hold of your password. The second layer does not use your normal Gmail password, therefore it will block any login attempts by a hacker even though the hacker has obtained your password. The second layer passwords are auto-generated, ever-changing, short-lived and disposable, therefore it is impossible for a hacker to intercept them.

Download Google™ Authenticator

Google™ Authenticator is a free app for Android, Iphone, Blackberry and Windows 7 mobile phones. This app supports multiple Gmail accounts. You simply need to download and install the app on your mobile phone. When the install is finished, go into your Gmail account and activate the Two-Step Verification under “Manage Accounts”. Follow the steps for configuring and enabling the app.

To test your app, open Gmail from your mobile phone browser and try to log in. When you log in on the Gmail Sign In page, you will not be allowed to go straight to your account. To access your account, you are requested to enter a six-digit Pass Code / Verification Code that is generated by the Google Authenticator app. The features of this security app are outlined below:

-          Auto generates verification codes at set intervals

-          Support for Iphone,Android,Blackberry and Windows 7

-          Can generate verification codes for multiple Google accounts

-          It is an open source application [Free]

-          Can be applied on servers, wordpress and desktop operating systems.
