One problem I've run up against is while in the email program, sometimes my mouse resizes the size of the pane and I can't stop it. How can I stop that? Again, great presentation.

  • @charles2494
    @charles2494 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks. Really like the one about turning off that stupid "chat" and "meet". That's been annoying me for quite some time.
    There is one "feature" you didn't mention, and I admit I didn't scroll through to see if someone else has or if you already covered it in another video.
    Turning off the "Inbox/categories". I had a Craigslist account and a bunch of people replied, asking about an item I posted. I didn't see some of the replies because it put them in a "Promotions" category/tab. Why would anyone want this? It caused quite a bit of confusion for me until I changed it to have only the "Primary" checkbox on.
