Gmail-Calendar Migration Tip of the Day #11

When you compose a new email, a pop-up window appears in the corner of your screen.  Depending on the screen size of your device and your workflow, this pop-up may be too small for your liking.  You can expand the compose email window by clicking on the arrows in the corner.

This will both enlarge and center your compose screen.  If you prefer this size and view, you can make it your default size by completing the following steps.

1. Within mail.google.com, click +Compose (or C if you've enabled keyboard shortcuts)
2. Click the meatballs at the bottom of the screen 
3. Choose Default to full-screen 
4. Note: You'll need to close the compose window and start a new one to see this in action.

Now every new email you start will be full-screen instead of small and in the corner.

BONUS TIP: 

If you have keyboard shortcuts enabled, type D and this will start a new email in a new tab!!  Give it a try.  If this doesn't work, that means you don't have keyboard shortcuts enabled.  Check out the previous tip to learn more about keyboard shortcuts.
