GMail, Email Clients, Cloud Tools, Google Keep / Text Editors and Finding the best experiences for Android and Windows:: Musings of a Remote Developer
Here is a list of some issues and resolutions I came across the past few days, especially as related to remote work,
1. GMail Conversation Read most recent first
Fix
by turning Conversation View OFF: See Here:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/google-in-the-enterprise/quick-tip-change-the-conversation-view-in-gmail/
2. GTasks change accounts:
3
Ways I found
1.
Get Google Tasks App from Extension Store, then U can specify the Google
Account (kind of a hack)
2.
Hack: I think the easiest way in Chrome is to open an Incognito Window (via the
"three-lines" button top right), and log in to the other account in
that window.
This
sucks bcuz incognito tab cant mix with normal tabs (uggh)
3.
BEST way I found, USE Taco, then u can synch tasks across multiple platforms,
so I started out with 1 problem and found a big solution to that and many other
task related stuff, now I just use Taco!

3. Google Keep Tips and Hacks:
Searching
text in Keep?
Google
Keep search text and highlight found word
Use
Chrome Ctrl-F, open Keep in https://keep.google.com/ then Open a note then Ctrl
- F (it doesn’t work in offline though)
Download
voice recordings: Open Keep in a desktop browser, click a note, mouse over the
voice recording and click “Download”.
Use
Google Keep as a shared clipboard. Copy text or a link into a note on your PC,
open it on your Android phone.
You
don’t want Google Keep as a separate tab in your browser, there is a quick fix.
You can turn Keep into its own Panel with an extension. download Panel View for
Keep

4. Outlook Sent Item missing :
When replying in Outlook for
GMail Account that is linked to Office 365, then Sent Item is gone, this became
a driver for me to re-org my Windows and Android Email Clients, instead of
using Outlook and Gmail for everything with Pop3/SMTP Accounts, I decided to have Gmail manage Google email /
Outlook manage Off365 on Android and use Outlook Accounts on Windows, This also
led me to CloudMagic, Im trying out now….
Instead
of trying to wrangle the Gmail Account to work when in Outlook, I used for :
Windows
Use
Outlook for Gmail/Office 365 as separate Accounts n Outlook
Andorid:
Gmail
and Outlook apps
