GMail
Create and send HTML Mails online
either using the visual WYSIWYG mode
or code messages directly in HTML and
CSS. Emails are sent via your Gmail
account.
T he all-new HTML Mail app lets you
compose and send emails using the new
Gmail API . You can sign-in with your
Gmail account and compose emails using
the WYSIWYG editor, or if you are
comfortable with code , switch to the HTML
mode and write messages in HTML and
CSS directly.
The HTML Mail app sends emails using
your own Gmail account but unlike the
previous versions, it does not require full
access to your Google Account. It only
needs permission to compose and send
messages on your behalf and would not be
able to read anything else in your mailbox.
The app is open-source but you can
always revoke access from your Google
Accounts page.
Why should I use HTML Mail
While Gmail itself offers an excellent visual
editor for composing emails, the big
difference between Gmail and HTML Mail
is that the latter lets you write and style
emails in HTML directly. For instance,
there’s currently no way to insert a table in
Gmail’s but you can easily do that in the
HTML Mail app – either use the Table tool
from the toolbar or switch to the code view
and add the <table> tag manually.
Also, if the Gmail.com website ever goes
down in the future even for a few minutes,
it happens sometime, you should still be
able to use the HTML Mail app to at least
send messages via your Gmail account
during that downtime.
If you wish to embed images, or even
social media icons, in your email
messages, you can upload them to a site
like imgur.com and put the URL of the
uploaded image into the “Insert Image”
box.
Once you are done composing an email
message in the HTML Mail app, enter the
subject and the recipient’s email address
and hit Send Email. The number of emails
that can send per day is the same as your
daily Gmail limit .
