How to Save Your Gmail Messages in Google Docs
Email services are introduced to help people communicate with each other at a fast pace and now it is a platform that is used to offer jobs as well. Gmail is another framework that allows you to transfer data and information from one person to another or a group. There are some emails that come on regular basis like the updates of some software that you have registered to. They are mostly not required and trashed immediately. Some emails are time based, like you have an assignment due and you have to email it to your teacher so you just send a message and then you don’t need it anymore so it is kept in the sent items. However, there are some emails that needs to be revisited on regular basis like you have some data in an email that you need to use in a report which is to be prepared in a month so you will visit the email regularly, hence, you will have to save it somewhere. Now Gmail allows users to save their messages in Google Docs. It is very useful especially for business purposes. You might have cut the email and paste it to your documents list that is important to you but now there is a far simpler method introduced by the team of Gmail and you should be thankful to them for making your life easier.
