Once you do that, the signature will automatically be added to every mail – all the features you added. You will need to create an account and download the free add-on (Firefox and Chrome). Extras include buttons or widgets with your latest tweet or a random quote. With WiseStamp, you can create a custom signature: add details from your visiting card, plus your social profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), a photograph and many extras. There are limitations to what you can do with your email signature. If you use Evernote, you can also attach notes and if you need to attach images from the web, you can search and attach right within Gmail – rather than search, download and attach individually.

This means your recipient will instantly see the attachments). If you like, you can also attach photos from Facebook, Instagram, Flickr or Picasa (these will be real attachments - not just links to those photos. What if the files you want to attach are saved on cloud storage? What if you want to attach multiple files from different cloud service providers - all in the same mail? A free Chrome extension called Cloudy can help - it integrates with SkyDrive, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Github and Gmail itself. Once it goes out of beta, there will likely be some paid plans with extra features – a basic service should remain free though. It’s important to note that the recipient does not need to have Dmail installed. You can revoke access to any mail, you’ve sent, at any time. In every message compose window, you’ll see the toggle for Dmail. The service is currently in beta stage and completely free. Get the free Dmail (Delicious Mail) Chrome extension. After the message destructs, the recipient will no longer be able to read it – it will just read like garbled text. It’s the stuff of science fiction and action movies – send your message (which is encrypted, by the way) to the recipient and you can choose when it ‘self destructs’. This also gives you unlimited history and the ability to track if links in your email were clicked. You can also upgrade to the pro account for $3.50 per month.

The only catch is that there’s a ‘Sent with MailTrack’ signature added to all your email (can be removed if required). Once you install it, you’ll get free email tracking, desktop and email notifications and a history (data is stored for 6 months). Wouldn’t it be great if you could find out when your email has been read in the same way? You can do this with a free Chrome extension called MailTrack. You’re probably using WhatsApp – you get two little tick marks on your message once it’s been delivered and they turn blue once your message has been read.
