One of the most confusing aspects in Gmail it is the subject of contacts Can you really have email contacts? Is there an agenda where I can see everyone? The direct answer is yes and no.
Certainly the contacts of Gmail are related to our Google account, but there is no direct way from the application in which we can record emails, instead We must store this data among the contacts we have in the Google Contacts application.
That is why in this article we will teach you how to use this tool so that easily access the email list of the people with whom you communicate the most with Gmail.
How does the Gmail contact record work and how can it be accessed?
Something you should know is that the application of Gmail it is very intuitive and has a very useful feature that, although it does not work directly as an agenda, it has quite similar functionality. The fact is that every time we send or receive an email, the recipient of the email is indirectly registered in our account.
This means that if in the future we are going to send an email to a person with whom we have had a conversation in the past, by putting their name as the recipient in a new message, Gmail will suggest a list of possible contacts that match that name. This means that you don’t necessarily have to memorize their email as the platform will automatically create a record for you.
However, this feature has its buts, as these contacts are not always remembered, especially if we have only exchanged a few messages with him. The only way to make sure this happens is to always flag the conversations of those important people as “Featured” or “Favorites”, so that we tell Gmail its relevance among the others.
