<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p>During an election season, political emails can quickly flood your inbox. Whether it's candidates you've never heard of begging for your vote or political parties inundating you with propaganda, these unsolicited political emails are almost always a major nuisance. We understand the need to have control over your email inbox and ensure it remains <em>your</em> personal space.</p>
<p>In this article, we're going to look at a few methods for blocking political emails, specifically focusing on using Gmail filters and Block Sender.</p>
<h3 id="whyblockpoliticalemails">Why Block Political Emails</h3>
<p>We all have our reasons for wanting to block political emails. For me, it's the non-stop barage of emails from campaigns that I never signed up for. Every day, even after elections, my mailbox would be bombarded with campaign updates, donation requests, and more.</p>
<p>Given how aggressive and polarizing politics have become in the last few years, the last thing many of us want to see is more political emails trying to trigger us with fear or anger.</p>
<h3 id="usinggmailfilters">Using Gmail Filters</h3>
<p>Gmail, like most email clients, allows its users to create filters that can automatically sort your incoming mail, including those political emails. Here's how to do it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Start with opening an email from the political entity.</li>
<li>Click on the three dot menu on the top right corner of the email.</li>
<li>From the drop-down menu, choose the &quot;Block [Name]&quot; selection.</li>
<li>In the box that pops up, you can set up your filter. Make sure that the sender's email address is in the &quot;From&quot; box, then click on &quot;Create filter&quot; at the bottom right.</li>
<li>On the following page, check the box for &quot;Delete it&quot; and then hit &quot;Create filter&quot;.</li>
</ol>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">
                    
                        <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-3">
                            <img src="/assets/images/icon-information-circle-solid.svg" class="icon" aria-hidden="true" />
                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> This will ensures that all future emails from this specific sender go straight to your Trash. However, it doesn’t cover <em>all</em> potential political emails, so you may need to follow this process multiple times for different senders.</p>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <h3 id="usingblocksender">Using Block Sender</h3>
<p>Alternatively, you can use a tool like Block Sender, which aims to make email blocking easy and takes only a couple of clicks to mute unwanted senders permanently. You can even set it up to automatically reply to blocked emails with canned responses.</p>
<p>Once you've <a target="_blank" href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/block-sender/bklnjbfcmglhiaoppcckdodanccbelcg">installed the extension</a>, here's how to block a sender:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the email from the political entity you want to block.</li>
<li>Click on the &quot;Block&quot; button in the menu at the top of the email.</li>
<li>From the drop-down menu that appears, choose &quot;Emails from this sender&quot;. Or, for a more comprehensive block, select &quot;Emails from this domain&quot; to block emails from all senders of that website.</li>
<li>Optional: To ensure you never have to see the emails, even in your trash, edit the block and set the destination to &quot;Delete (skip trash)&quot; to permanently delete the email immediately. This is something Gmail doesn't allow you to do on your own.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-block-political-emails-1.png" alt="Block sender by email"></p>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">
                    
                        <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-3">
                            <img src="/assets/images/icon-information-circle-solid.svg" class="icon" aria-hidden="true" />
                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> Here we've shown the method to block only the particular address/domain you’ve specified. For better results, you may need to combine this approach with other blocking strategies like keywords or phrases common to political emails.</p>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <h3 id="otherblockingstrategies">Other Blocking Strategies</h3>
<p>In addition to the methods already discussed like Gmail filters and Block Sender, there are other strategies you can deploy to stem the unwavering tide of political emails.</p>
<p>You should consider trying to unsubscribe from the political mailing lists directly. Typically, commercial emails are legally obliged to include an &quot;unsubscribe&quot; link, usually found at the bottom of the email. This should theoretically stop future transmissions from the same sender.</p>
<p>However, keep in mind that some of the more morally-flexible operators may view your unsubscribe attempt as proof of an active email account and actually bombard you with even more emails. But this strategy is more common with actual spammers than political campaigns.</p>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">
                    
                        <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-3">
                            <img src="/assets/images/icon-information-circle-solid.svg" class="icon" aria-hidden="true" />
                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> Make sure to check the legitimacy of the sender before clicking on any &quot;unsubscribe&quot; links. Some malicious emails might use this as a trick to attack your device or steal sensitive information.</p>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <p>Finally, you might opt to help train your inbox's spam filters. By consistently marking unwanted political emails as &quot;spam&quot;, most email services, Gmail included, will sometimes begin to recognize the pattern and automatically relocate such messages to your spam folder.</p>
<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>
<p>In this political age, your inbox is often caught in the crossfire campaigns competing for your attention and vote. However, hopefull you now have the tools to prevent this and regain control of your inbox. Sign up for Block Sender today and enjoy your now peaceful, politics-free inbox.</p>

How to Block Political Emails

<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p>Have you ever wished to have a backup copy of your go-to emails? Or maybe you're migrating your digital data and want to carry over some important Gmail conversations? In this article, we'll talk about how you can use Gmail's Export feature to do just that.</p>
<h3 id="gmailsexportfeature">Gmail's Export Feature</h3>
<p>Gmail's Export feature is a hidden treasure that many users aren't aware of. It allows you to export and download emails directly from your Gmail account to your computer or any cloud storage. And possibly the best part is that it gives you the ability to select the emails you wish to export, instead of blindly downloading everything and then finding those that you really need. Gmail's export feature primarily depends on the Google Takeout utility, which supports a variety of downloadable formats.</p>
<h3 id="whyexportemailsfromgmail">Why Export Emails from Gmail?</h3>
<p>There are a lot of reasons why you'd want to export emails from Gmail. For instance, you may want to create a backup of certain emails that are important for your work or personal use. Or maybe you're planning to switch your email service provider. In this case, exporting your emails ensures you don’t leave behind any important data. Even in day-to-day use, you might need email content or attachments locally saved on your system for offline access.</p>
<p>Exporting emails can also be a savior when you've reached your Google Account's storage limit. After exporting, you can safely delete the old emails. It frees up the cloud space without you losing access to any crucial information.</p>
<h3 id="exportingselectedemails">Exporting Selected Emails</h3>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">

                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> The max number of emails you can export using this method is 50. If you need to bulk export more many more emails, you might be better off using Google Takeout.</p>

                </div>
            </div>
            <ol>
<li>Open Gmail and tick the checkbox next to the emails you want to export. Note that if you want to select all emails in a given category, label, etc., you'll need to then click the link at the top of the page that says &quot;Select all X conversations in [Label]&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-export-selected-emails-from-gmail-1.png" alt="Select emails in Gmail"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li>
<p>Once selected, click on the &quot;More&quot; button - it's the one with three vertical dots in the top menu bar.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the dropdown, select &quot;Forward as attachment&quot;.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-export-selected-emails-from-gmail-2.png" alt="Forward emails as attachment in Gmail"></p>
<ol start="4">
<li>
<p>A new composing email window will pop-up with your selected emails as <code>.eml</code> file in the attachments.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Now you can either send this email to yourself or any other recipient to download the emails from. Remember, keep the recipient trusted as it might contain valuable information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open the received email and download the <code>.eml</code> files. Your exported emails are now ready!</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>And there you go, in just a few steps, you've got a copy of your selected emails. The &quot;.eml&quot; file format can be opened by various email clients like Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and even by Gmail itself.</p>
<h3 id="usinggoogletakeoutforbulkemailexporting">Using Google Takeout for Bulk Email Exporting</h3>
<p>Google's Takeout lets you export all of your emails at once, whether you want it or not, as a single file. This is a great place to download any of your Google-hosted data.</p>
<p>The process is simple. Visit the <a href="https://takeout.google.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Google Takeout page</a>, then select your data to include (this is where you select &quot;Gmail&quot;). You can also choose to include other Google-related date like your Google Drive files, Google Photos, and so on. Then, click on &quot;Next step&quot; to proceed to the delivery method.</p>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-export-selected-emails-from-gmail-3.png" alt="Select Mail in Google Takeout"></p>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">
                    
                        <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-3">
                            <img src="/assets/images/icon-information-circle-solid.svg" class="icon" aria-hidden="true" />
                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> While Google Takeout is an excellent tool for bulk operations, granular controls are quite limited. Although you <em>can</em> restrict exported emails by both Category and Label.</p>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <p>Next you'll select the destination, file format (.zip or .tgz), and max file size. If the given file size is exceeded, your export will be split into multiple files.</p>
<p>Unlike the &quot;Forward as Attachment&quot; method, Google Takeout will export your emails in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MBOX</a> file format. This format allows multiple emails per file, unlike EML, which is great for bulk downloading and importing to other mail clients.</p>
<h3 id="savingemailstogoogledrive">Saving Emails to Google Drive</h3>
<p>Now, let's say, you really don't want to download gigabytes of data to your local computer and would prefer to store everything in Google Drive instead. Luckily, Google Takeout supports multiple destinations for your export, including Drive.</p>
<p>Simply click the dropdown menu under &quot;Transfer to&quot; and select &quot;Add to Drive&quot;. Once you click &quot;Create export&quot; and wait for the export to be created and transferred, you'll find it there.</p>

<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>
<p>All in all, Gmail provides a few nice ways to export your emails, each having their pros and cons. Whether you pick the MBOX or EML format, Google Takeout or saving to Google Drive, it all depends on your needs and workflow.</p>


How to Export Selected Emails from Gmail

<p>Let's start off by stating the obvious - e-mails can be overwhelming, especially if you have a &quot;busy&quot; inbox and get dozens or hundreds of them every single day. It's like trying to drink from a fire hydrant, and more often than not, it gets messy. But how can you keep them all straight and know which ones are actually new since you last checked? One option, which we'll talk about in this article, is to mark all of your emails as &quot;read&quot;.</p>
<h3 id="howtomarkallemailsasreadingmail">How to Mark All Emails as Read in Gmail</h3>
<p>The process to mark all e-mails as read in Gmail is pretty straightforward, much like any other task in Gmail. Follow these steps to mark all emails as read:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign into your Gmail account.</li>
<li>In the menu on the left side, click &quot;More&quot; to expand the list.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-mark-all-emails-as-read-in-gmail-1.png" alt="Gmail More button"></p>
<ol start="3">
<li>Click on &quot;All Mail&quot;.</li>
<li>Click on the checkbox on the top left corner of your inbox, then click &quot;Select all X conversations in All Mail&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-mark-all-emails-as-read-in-gmail-2.png" alt="Gmail select all mail"></p>
<ol start="6">
<li>Click on the three vertical dots (the &quot;More&quot; button) at the top and select &quot;Mark as read&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-mark-all-emails-as-read-in-gmail-3.png" alt="Gmail mark as read"></p>
<p>And that's it! Your inbox now has no unread emails.</p>
<h3 id="markingspecificcategoriesofemailsasread">Marking Specific Categories of Emails as Read</h3>
<p>It's not always that we need to read all the emails in our inbox. Sometimes, we only want to tackle specific categories. Gmail offers us a smart way to handle this.</p>
<p>Here's the scoop:</p>
<ol>
<li>In your Gmail, go to the search bar at the top.</li>
<li>Find and click the category you want to tackle. It could be &quot;Primary&quot;, &quot;Promotions&quot;, &quot;Social&quot;, or &quot;Forums&quot;.</li>
<li>You should now see all emails under the specified category.</li>
<li>Click on the small checkbox at the top left of your inbox to select all the emails on the current page.</li>
<li>To select all emails in the given category, and not just those that are visible, click &quot;Select all X conversations in [category]&quot;, where X is the number of messages and &quot;[category]&quot; is the currently selected category.</li>
<li>Now, click on vertical dots icon (&quot;More&quot;), then click &quot;Mark as read&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p>These are the same steps as before, except that instead of selecting the &quot;All Mail&quot; view, we're selecting a category view first.</p>
<h3 id="additionalwaystomanageyourinboxefficiently">Additional Ways to Manage your Inbox Efficiently</h3>
<p>There are several additional features in Gmail you can use to manage your inbox more efficiently:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Archive</strong>: Archiving emails removes them from your inbox but keeps them in your account. It's like moving books you've already read from your bedside table to your bookshelf. They're out of sight, but still within reach if you need them.</li>
<li><strong>Labels</strong>: Like real life labels, Gmail labels helps you organize your messages into different categories. This can make it much easier to find old emails based on groupings of your choosing.</li>
<li><strong>Filters</strong>: Do you receive email on a frequent basis that you don't actually need to read but want to keep for later? You can use Gmail's filters to mark them as read and move them to a specified label.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>
<p>Setting up a well-managed email environment can spare you a lot of unnecessary stress. Luckily, Gmail provides user-friendly tools to mark emails as read, either in bulk or by specific categories, and other features to efficiently manage your inbox. Remember, a clean inbox is a happy inbox! So go ahead and give these features a try and enjoy a clutter-free Gmail experience.</p>


How to Mark All Emails as Read in Gmail

<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p>After having a Gmail account for years now, you've likely accumulated many contacts, some of which you probably have multiple email addresses for. One feature that can potentially trip us up is dealing with a contact that has multiple email addresses. In this short article we'll see how you can get Gmail to suggest one address over another, which is helpful when the contact has a primar/default address you use more often.</p>
<h3 id="themultipleemaildilemma">The Multiple Email Dilemma</h3>
<p>It's pretty likely that you have a contact that has both a personal and professional email. Today, most people do have multiple email addresses for work, personal stuff, spam-prone sites, and for things like newsletters and subscriptions.</p>
<p>Ever tried to send a vital report to Sarah from marketing, but instead sent it to Sarah's personal email filled with her cat videos? Yes, this can be a problem, especially if you frequently have to email Sarah.</p>
<p>By setting a default email address for your contacts in Gmail, you're making sure you always send stuff to the right inbox. Gmail cleverly shows the default email first in the auto-complete suggestions.</p>
<h3 id="howtosetadefaultemailaddressforacontactingmail">How to Set a Default Email Address for a Contact in Gmail</h3>
<p>Now let's stop dancing around the issue and actually do the do. Handling multiple contacts in Gmail is as easy as pie. I say this because I just recently learned how to bake a pie, but if you're not into baking, let's say it's as easy as ordering pie.</p>
<ol>
<li>Open <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://contacts.google.com/">Gmail Contacts</a> in your web browser.</li>
<li>Find and click on the contact you want to set a default email for.</li>
<li>Once the contact details are visible, click on the &quot;Edit&quot; button.</li>
<li>Move the default email address to the first position. You may need to delete and re-add one or more email addresses to make this happen.</li>
<li>Click &quot;Save&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p>And that's it! Whichever email address is in the first position is the one shown as the default when sending an email. It's as simple as that.</p>
<h3 id="dealingwithmultiplecontacts">Dealing with Multiple Contacts</h3>
<p>Now, let us consider another scenario - when your contact has multiple different entries in your contact list. In this case, each contact entry will have its separate default email, regardless of whether it's the same person. This can complicate things even more, but luckily there's a simple solution for this:</p>
<p>You can simply <a href="https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/7078226?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">merge your contacts</a>. This action combines all the entries of the same person into one. This can help organize and simplify your contact list.</p>
<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>
<p>In this short article we saw how you can set a default email address for a contact in Gmail. This is helpful when you have a contact with multiple email addresses and you want to make sure you always send emails to the right address. It's also helpful when you have multiple contacts for the same person and you want to make sure you always send emails to the right contact.</p>

Introducing Email Assistant GPT

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Gmail, even with all of its great features, still can leave some to be desired. For example, when trying to manage multiple attachments, there aren't many great ways to do it. Let's explore why you might want to download multiple attachments in Gmail, and how you can actually do it conveniently.</p>
<h2 id="whydownloadmultipleattachmentsingmail">Why Download Multiple Attachments in Gmail</h2>
<p>There are a number of reasons why one might want to download multiple attachments from Gmail. Maybe you're a project manager who needs to collate all the files from your team for a project. Or perhaps you're a student who needs to download all the lecture slides your professor has emailed over the semester. Or maybe you just simply want to back up important files and photos. Whatever the reason, downloading multiple attachments from Gmail can save you a lot of time and effort.</p>
<h2 id="howtodownloadmultipleattachmentsingmail">How to Download Multiple Attachments in Gmail</h2>
<p>Downloading multiple attachments in Gmail doesn't have to be as confusing as it seems. There are a couple of ways to do it - one using a built-in Google tool, and the other using third-party applications. Let's start with the Google tool.</p>
<h3 id="usinggoogletakeoutforbulkdownloads">Using Google Takeout for Bulk Downloads</h3>
<p>Google Takeout is a fantastic tool that allows you to download data from your Google products, including Gmail. It's a bit like taking all your saved things out of a storage unit - hence the name.</p>
<p>To use Google Takeout for downloading Gmail attachments, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="https://takeout.google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Google Takeout</a>.</li>
<li>Under &quot;Select data to include&quot;, choose &quot;Mail&quot;.</li>
<li>Click &quot;All mail data included&quot;, then select &quot;Include all messages in Mail&quot;.</li>

            <p><strong>Note:</strong> Google will then prepare your download, which could take up to a few hours or even days, depending on the amount of data. You'll receive an email when your download is ready.</p>

                </div>
            </div>
            <p>And voila! You've got all your Gmail attachments downloaded. Remember, though, Google Takeout downloads all your emails, not just the attachments, so you'll still need to sift through them to find what you need. But this may be a bit easier to do locally on your computer rather than via the Gmail interface.</p>
<h3 id="forwardasattachment">Forward as Attachment</h3>
<p>Another method is to use one of Gmail's features, &quot;Forward as attachment&quot;. To do this, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>From your Gmail inbox, select all emails with attachments you want to download</li>
<li>At the top of your inbox, click the three vertical dots icon</li>
<li>Select &quot;Forward as attachment&quot;<br>
<img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-download-attachments-from-multiple-emails-in-gmail-1.png" alt="Forward as attachment in Gmail"></li>
<li>A new draft email will pop up with the selected emails as attachments. Fill out the recipient (it can be yourself), the subject, and body.</li>
<li>Click &quot;Send&quot;</li>
<li>The resulting email will include both the emails and their attachments as an attachment. You can easily download all from this one email and then only keep the actual attachments you want.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="tipstomanagegmailattachments">Tips to Manage Gmail Attachments</h2>
<p>Managing your Gmail attachments effectively can save you a lot of time. Here are a few tips to help you out:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Keep your inbox organized:</strong> Use labels to categorize your emails. This way, you can easily find emails with important attachments.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Use the search function:</strong> Gmail has a powerful search function. You can use it to search for emails with attachments. For instance, you can type &quot;has:attachment&quot; in the search bar to find all emails with attachments.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Delete unnecessary attachments:</strong> If you're running out of space in your Gmail account, consider deleting unnecessary attachments. Remember, you can always download them first if you think you might need them later. Gmail allows you to undo an action within a few seconds of performing it. So, if you accidentally delete an important attachment, don't panic! Just click the &quot;undo&quot; button that appears at the bottom of the screen.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>Gmail offers several ways to download multiple attachments, from using Google Takeout to forwarding emails as attachments. But remember, the key to managing your Gmail attachments effectively is to keep your inbox organized, use the search function, and delete unnecessary attachments.</p>

            <h2 id="whyisitsohardtounsubscribefromthenyt">Why is it so hard to unsubscribe from the NYT?</h2>
<p>Unsubscribing from the NYT emails can be tricky - sometimes the settings UI doesn't work or doesn't save properly, or like other subscriptions, they may not honor these settings. The unsubscribe link might also be small and inconspicuous as possible, hidden somewhere at the bottom of the email. And even when you do find it and click on it, you're often led to a page with logins, multiple checkboxes, and confusing language designed to make you second guess your decision. It can be like trying to find your way out of a maze, only to realize you've been going in circles.</p>
<h2 id="howtoblockemailsfromthenyt">How to Block Emails from the NYT</h2>
<p>So, how do you escape this digital labyrinth? You can use a tool like Block Sender to block their emails.</p>
<p>Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how to do it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the Block Sender <a target="_blank" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/block-sender/bklnjbfcmglhiaoppcckdodanccbelcg">browser extension</a> if you haven't already</li>
<li>Open your Gmail account and find an email from the NYT.</li>
<li>Click on the email to open it.</li>
<li>Click on the &quot;Block&quot; button above the email and select &quot;Emails from this sender&quot;.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can also block emails from the NYT via the <a href="https://app.blocksender.io/">dashboard</a>. Just be sure to make note of the email address that sends you the emails.</p>
<h2 id="otherwaystoblocktheiremails">Other Ways to Block Their Emails</h2>
<p>If you've followed the steps above and still find that you're receiving emails from the New York Times, don't worry, there are still other ways to block their emails. They might be getting through because they are sent from a few different addresses.</p>
<p>To fix this, you can create a more strict block, like one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Block their entire domain, &quot;nytimes.com&quot;</li>
<li>Block them by phrase, &quot;New York Times&quot;</li>
<li>Block them by name, &quot;The New York Times&quot;</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>With the right tools and strategies, it's entirely possible to regain control and block unwanted emails from the New York Times or any other persistent sender.</p>
<p>Whether you choose to unsubscribe, use your email provider's blocking feature, or enlist the help of a third-party tool, the important thing is to find a solution that works for you. And remember, if all else fails, there's always the option of sending a strongly worded email to the sender 😉</p>

<p>Setting up Google Apps Email for your subdomain can seem like a confusing task, especially if you're not a tech wizard. But don't worry, even if the closest you've come to 'coding' is setting up your Wi-Fi, this guide should help to simplify the process for you.</p>
<h2 id="howtosetupgoogleappsemailforyoursubdomain">How to Set Up Google Apps Email for Your Subdomain</h2>
<p>Alright, let's get down to business. Setting up Google Apps Email for your subdomain involves a few steps, but I promise it's not as complicated as it sounds.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Create your subdomain:</strong> First things first, you need to create your subdomain. This is usually done through your hosting provider. If you're unsure how to do this, check out your hosting provider's help center or get in touch with their support team.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Set up Google Workspace:</strong> Next, you need to set up a Google Workspace account. This will give you access to Google Apps Email and a range of other useful tools. To do this, go to the <a href="https://workspace.google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Google Workspace website</a> and follow the prompts to set up an account, if you haven't already.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Verify your domain:</strong> Once you've set up your Google Workspace account, you'll need to verify your domain with Google. This involves adding a verification record to your domain's DNS settings. Don't worry, Google provides clear instructions on how to do this during the setup process.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Set up email for your subdomain:</strong> Finally, you need to set up email for your subdomain. This is done in the Google Workspace admin console. Simply go to the &quot;Domains&quot; section, click on &quot;Manage domains&quot;, and then add your subdomain. Once your subdomain is added, you can set up email for it.</p>
</li>
</ol>

            <p><strong>Note:</strong> It can take up to 72 hours for DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet, so don't worry if your new email address isn't working straight away. Just be patient and give it some time.</p>

            <h2 id="commonerrorsandissues">Common Errors and Issues</h2>
<p>Like any tech-related task, setting up Google Apps Email for a subdomain can come with its own set of issues or challenges. Here are a few common issues you might encounter:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Domain verification issues:</strong> If you're having trouble verifying your domain with Google, double-check that you've entered the verification record correctly. If you're still having issues, it might be worth contacting your hosting provider for help.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Email not working:</strong> If your new email address isn't working, remember that it can <em>take up to 72 hours for DNS changes to propagate</em>. If it's been longer than this and you're still having issues, check that you've set up your email correctly in the Google Workspace admin console.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, when in doubt, Google is your friend. There are plenty of helpful resources out there if you get stuck on a specific issue.

<h2 id="settingupgoogleappsemailformultiplesubdomains">Setting Up Google Apps Email for Multiple Subdomains</h2>
<p>Running multiple subdomains and want to set up Google Apps Email for each of them? No problem! You can set up Google Apps Email for each of your subdomains following the same steps as setting it up for a single subdomain.</p>
<p>The key thing to remember is that each subdomain is treated as a separate entity. So, you'll need to verify each subdomain with Google and set up MX records for each one.</p>

            <div class="alert alert-warn">
                <div class="flex">

                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Wait!</strong> Be careful when setting up MX records for your subdomains. Make sure you're not changing the MX records of your main domain by mistake. Again, don't be afraid to ask for help if you're not sure what you're doing.</p>

Just remember to treat each subdomain as a separate entity, and you'll be just fine.</p>


Setting Up Google Apps Email for a Subdomain

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Like any form of communication, it's important to express yourself clearly and effectively. One way to do this is through text formatting, like using strikethroughs. These aren't as commonly used as bold or italics, but they do have their place. But how do we use them in Gmail?</p>
<p>This article will show you how to use this feature to make your emails more effective and engaging.</p>
<h2 id="whatisastrikethrough">What is a Strikethrough?</h2>
<p>A strikethrough is a horizontal line that crosses out a section of text.</p>
<p><s>Here is an example.</s></p>
<p>It's a common tool used in editing and proofreading to indicate that a piece of text should be disregarded, but it can also be used for emphasis or to create a certain tone or style.</p>
<p>For example, you might use a strikethrough to make a joke, to show that you've changed your mind, or to highlight an error. In Gmail, adding a strikethrough to your text is pretty simple and straightforward.</p>
<h2 id="usingstrikethroughtextingmail">Using Strikethrough Text in Gmail</h2>
<p>To use strikethrough in Gmail, start by composing a new email or replying to an existing one. Once you've written your text, highlight the section that you want to strikethrough. Then, click on the &quot;A&quot; icon in the bottom menu to open the formatting options.</p>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-strikethrough-text-in-gmail-1.png" alt="Gmail formatting options"></p>
<p>You'll find the strikethrough button here—it's the one that looks like a &quot;S&quot; with a line through it. Click on this button to apply the strikethrough to your selected text.</p>
<p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-strikethrough-text-in-gmail-2.png" alt="Gmail strikethrough button"></p>

            <div class="alert alert-note">
                <div class="flex">
                    
                        <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-3">
                            <img src="/assets/images/icon-information-circle-solid.svg" class="icon" aria-hidden="true" />
                        </div>
                        
                    <div class="w-full">
            <p><strong>Note:</strong> Remember, the strikethrough button won't appear until you've highlighted some text. So, if you don't see it, make sure you've selected the text you want to strikethrough.</p>

                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <p><img src="https://block-sender.s3.amazonaws.com/media/how-to-strikethrough-text-in-gmail-3.png" alt="Gmail email with strikethrough"></p>
<p>Now, let's say you're like me and have a habit of changing your mind. No problem! You can easily remove the strikethrough by highlighting the text and clicking the strikethrough button again.</p>
<p>And there you have it—a quick and easy way to include additional style in your emails. Whether you're using it for editing, emphasis, or just for fun, the strikethrough feature in Gmail can help you communicate more effectively. So, go ahead and give it a try. I guarantee you'll be crossing out text like a pro in no time.</p>
<h2 id="strikethroughtextingmailmobileapp">Strikethrough Text in Gmail Mobile App</h2>
<p>Unfortunately, the Gmail mobile app doesn't currently support the strikethrough text feature. This is unfortunate since a lot of emails are sent via your phone these days.</p>
<p>But, don't worry, there's a workaround! Instead, you can use a strikethrough text generator, like <a href="https://www.piliapp.com/cool-text/strikethrough-text/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this one</a>.</p>
<p>Simply type the text you want to strike out in the generator, copy the strikethrough text it generates, and paste it into your email. It's not as convenient as having the feature built-in, but it gets the job done.</p>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>While Gmail's desktop version allows you to easily strikethrough text, the mobile app version requires a bit of a workaround. So, the next time you want to show text revisions or just have a little fun with your emails, remember these easy steps.</p>
