titleHow do Google Contacts work?

Contacts

  1. To view your contacts (the accounts you email), click on the Apps Grid (the box of 9 small squares by your profile picture) and find Contacts in the list of Google Apps.
  2. For more information about Google contacts, see this article: https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/1069522
  3. To import contacts, you can use a .csv file. (You can export a group of contacts - or label - specifically, in order to share a list you built with others on campus)
    1. Go to Contacts.
    2. Expand the 3 hamburger menu on the left and click the word "More" to expand that section of the menu.
    3. Choose "Import" and navigate to your file.

Google Contact Labels or Groups

You can learn about viewing, grouping and sharing contacts at this support article: https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/30970?hl=en

Note that Google's instructions tell you to create a group by creating a "Label". The two terms are used somewhat interchangeably.

titleHow do I access an account that was delegated to me?

To access delegated account please follow steps below:

1. Click on the image or initial icon at the top right corner of your screen
2. In the drop-down menu that appears, once the mailbox has been delegated you will see the mailbox listed with (delegated) after the email address. Click on the delegated account (note: If you have a lot of shared mailboxes, you may need to use the scrollbar on the right to view them all).
3. The shared/delegated account will open in a new tab or window. It will look just like another inbox but will NOT include: 

  • Chat
  • Calendar, Docs/Drive, Sites (calendars are delegated separately and will be accessed through My Calendars or Other Calendars in your Google Calendar view)
  • Add-ons
  • Access to some account settings
  • Themes

Note: Once you have been added as delegate it may take up to 24 hours for delegated account to appear below your primary account.

titleHow do I block a specific email account?

Please refer to Google's instructions, at https://support.google.com/legal/answer/8151, and take note of their advice:

Note: If someone uses Gmail to harass, intimidate or threaten you, they're violating Gmail's Programme Policies. If you feel that you're in danger, contact your local authorities straight away and ask whether any cyber harassment laws apply to your situation.

We once offered a workshop on Managing a Gmail Inbox. The slides can be viewed here.
