See your previous Gmail Sessions and sign out of them remotely
Few days ago the Gmail team added a new feature to Gmail I.e now you can see your last activity on your Gmail account, this come as a very useful features for people who use public computers to check their email as if they forget to sign out then anyone can access their mail account which may have personal information or important files
To see how this feature works scroll down your Gmail inbox, at the bottom you will find your last account activity along with the IP address, when you click the details link you will get a pop up window with last five session details which contains the IP address from where Gmail was accessed and the time of access, you can sign out of all other sessions from your computer by clicking the “sign out all other sessions” button, using this feature you can also track if someone has got your account password and reading your emails without your knowledge, you can check that by seeing the IP address from the account is accessed and if you find any suspicious activity you can change your password

Changes to GMail Contacts Manager
One thing I like about Google is that they keep on adding new features and improving the current features frequently, the latest being the changes to the contact manager, earlier when you used to send email to someone he would be added to the contacts list so that when next time you want to send an email to the same person you type first few letters of his email address and a bunch of suggestions show up in auto complete list (which is a good feature) but now the problem is that if you send a lot of emails to different people then they all get added to the contact list and the auto complete list grows huge with time making it less efficient.
The Gmail team in a bid to fix this have modified the contacts manager and sorted the contact in to three categories that are as follows:
- “My Contacts”-these are the contacts you have manually added or contacted a lot in the past
- “Most Contacted”-the people you have contacted the most, if number of times you have emailed a certain person increases he is automatically added to My Contact (at least five time)
- “Suggested Contacts”- all the people you have emailed are added automatically in this category
To access the contact manager click on the contacts link under Gmail folders and above labels box on the left sidebar:
as you click on the contact button you can now see the Gmail contact manager which looks like this:
