By adding your account information to an email program on your computer, you can use Google Mail. However, it also works very well in a web browser and is just as easy to use. Gmail must be doing something right since it has more than a billion users. Gmail shows either the inbox or a message by default, but not both at the same time. If you like to see your mailboxes, inbox, and email all at once, you can do that. To add a preview pane, all you have to do is make a small change. This article shows you how to turn on and use the Preview Pane in Gmail.
