gmail
From time to time, I forget to send an email. Sure, I can just look at the number of drafts. But what I'd really like would be a hard-to-miss alert whenever I am about to close my Gmail that there are still drafts to be sent.
Anyone know how to achieve this?
The general answer we get from Google support is that unless otherwise stated, changes will take about 30 minutes to propagate to all servers. This is mostly in relation to API changes though - I've not heard/seen delays of hours or more from changes made via the UI.
If my users were consistently reporting significant delays for certain functions I'd be contacting support to ask why. Users expect that if the UI says something is done, then it truly is done.
It is now possible to label and/or "star" messages when you send them.
Official Gmail Blog: Star and label messages before you send them
When composing a new message, you can assign labels or star it by using the labels drop-down menu. As you’d expect, recipients of messages organized this way won’t see your labels or stars.
This is the new compose window:
Press the down arrow in the lower right, then choose "Label".
This is the old compose window:

You can try:
Editing the Draft label to UPPER case letters,
backgroundandtextcolor that stand out, and change settings to onlyshow when unread, so the label will only show when there are drafts, making your eye less used to it, thereby more noticeable.Also, make it a routine to open drafts in a new tab as soon as saving them, so when you are signing out, you'll probably see them.
