I have had no luck on creating a group on gmail, Can you explain how to create a group on gmail?

I'm quite a fan of Google's Gmail service, but wish i could embed photos and pictures into my messages rather than just being able to attach them, which leaves them piled at the bottom of the message for the recipient. Am I missing something obvious?

I've learned how to organize my incoming mail in Google's Gmail service by using labels and filters (thanks to you, Dave!) but now I find that I have so many label folders on the side that I can never see the ones I really want to track. Is there some trick to managing this problem in Gmail?

I am wondering if this is something related to 2-step verification on my Gmail account: I'm trying to install and run an app called "Notify" so I can get updates when mail arrives in my Gmail account and it keeps popping up the error "unable to connect" even though I am sure I am typing in my password properly. HELP!

I have been reading about Google Plus on the Web and really want to sign up for an account. How do I create an account for myself on this new service?

I am really intrigued by the way that the "print" button works on Google's Gmail service. You click on it, a new window opens up with a different version of the message, and without the user interacting, it pops up a print dialog box. One click on "OK" and that page is printed. How the heck do they launch the print dialog??

I'm what I'd call a power Gmail user, including lots of filters and such. What I've noticed recently, however, is that some of the folders I'm using (I think Gmail calls them "labels") are empty. I'd like to delete them. What's the fastest way to do so?

I recently learned that there are lots of preset themes for Google's Gmail service and am impressed all the options. I particularly like "Ninjas". What I'd like to do, though, is use a photograph of my own as a background image on the page. Is that possible?

I hear that there's a new security system you can enable on Google Gmail and the rest of the Google suite that requires you to have your smart phone along with your password? What's the security system called [ed note: "2-step verification"] and how can I use it for my own account?

I've been hearing that Google's introduced a desktop notification system in Gmail where if you get a new chat or a new email, a little window pops up. Sounds cool, and I do sometimes miss timely messages because I'm not paying attention, so how do I download it and install it into my PC or Web browser?

I'm concerned, Dave! I got an email from account-upgrade@gmail.com saying that "to ensure you do not lose your E-mail account during this period, you must confirm to us that your account is still active by responding to this notice with your account information", but then it asks for both my account name and password. Surely that's not right, is it?

You wrote an article a long time ago about how it's not possible to disable the "message threading" feature in Google's Gmail [see Can I disable Gmail message threading?] but a friend told me that you CAN do just that. Is there an update for us Gmail users who hate this feature??

I've been reading about the new priority inbox filtering system in Google's Gmail service, but am unclear how to turn it on for my own Gmail account. Can you explain?

I've been reading about Google introducing a dial out to regular phone service for Gmail users and I'm a bit puzzled. I have been on Google Gmail for years, but don't see any sort of phone dial out capability. Am I not eligible?

I'm trying to set up a selective Gmail filter so that mail sent from a specific mailing list is also forwarded along to a secondary address, but Gmail says I need to verify my other "forwarding" email address. Help!?

I'm a Gmail fan and just learned that Google is going to implement "dial out" capability from right within Gmail [ed: see Call phones from Gmail on the Gmail blog]. Darn cool, but they said you need to install "Google Voice and Video Plug-In" and I'm hoping you can explain how to do just that?

Using Windows Live Hotmail, searching the page for "filter" fails, even though that's what you suggest on your site (see article: How to create custom email filters in MSN Hotmail). Your suggestion is not correct, do you have an update?

The latest upgrade in Windows Hotmail has gone ahead and removed the View Message Source from the right-click context menu in the Inbox! I have always found that to be a valuable and critical tool in filtering out /previewing potentially risky e-mails without ever having to actually open them.

Why on earth would MS disarm their Hotmail account users in this day and age in the battle against scams/spams/phishing and all other sorts of nefarious exploits!?!?

I signed up for Google Buzz along with everyone else, but every time I look at it in my Gmail account, it's just status updates from Twitter. If I wanted to follow these people on Twitter, I'd do so. I want to get rid of Google Buzz, or at least not have it show up in my Gmail screen. How can I do that?

I get all sorts of spam from my Microsoft Live.com membership. I just want to keep my Hotmail account active since I've had it since I was in high school, but I don't want to have to weed through all these promo messages, etc. Can I turn these off? I know there used to be a way...

I'm tired of Gmail's threading and performance problems and want to just give up and bail on the service entirely. Not just ignore my account but actually delete it from the Gmail system. Oddly enough, though, that seems to be impossible. So, Dave, how do I delete my Gmail account?

I like Google Mail, but the threading feature drives me nuts. I don't want my mail threaded and I don't think of conversations that way. The worst is that every time I print, I print the entire thread, rather than just a single email message in the thread. Darn Gmail! Is there a way to print just one message?

I have a stalker. Some weird guy seems to have nothing better to do in his life than pay attention to when I log in to Google Gmail and then instantly hit me up for a chat. If I don't respond, he keeps sending messages. It's creepy. I don't like him. How can I block him from bugging me?

On my journey to find the ideal Google Gmail account ID, I ended up registering a few extra accounts (Gmail addresses? Not sure how to phrase that). Problem is, at this point I just want to axe the old addresses but can't for the life of me figure out how to do so. How on earth do you delete or cancel a Gmail account address?
