These tools will help you conveniently forward conversations, save their contents, and take notes right in your email client.

1. Gmail Sender Icons

A simple but very useful extension that adds icons with service logos and their names to each letter in the inbox. Once installed, it's easy to find the emails you want at a glance.

2. Multi Email Forward for Gmail

As the name implies, this plugin will help out in situations when you need to send several letters to one person at once. With Multi Email Forward, you can select up to 50 emails and send them in one message, one by one, or as a PDF attachment.

3. Gmail Time Tracker

If reading and writing email is a major part of your job, then this extension will definitely come in handy. It can track the time spent parsing mail and composing email. The collected statistics can later be exported to a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet.

4. Save emails to Google Drive

Sometimes it becomes necessary to save some important chain of letters so as not to lose correspondence or attachments. In such situations, this simple extension will come to the rescue, which allows you to save a backup copy of selected letters to Google Drive as PDF, attachments or a full backup of your account.

5. Simple Gmail Notes

Sometimes you need to save something or add important information to a letter. In order not to scour the notes and not remember which of them belongs to which letter, it is convenient to keep records directly in the mailbox. After installing Simple Gmail Notes, an input field will appear above each letter, where you can create simple notes that will be automatically saved and synchronized.

6. Save emails to PDF

Afraid of losing information from an important letter? Export it to PDF and save to disk! This is exactly what the Save emails to PDF extension does. Open the desired message, click on the arrow button, and after a few seconds it appears in the downloads folder.

7. Convert Google Docs to Gmail ™ drafts

A very useful tool for everyone who lacks the layout capabilities of the standard Gmail editor. Using the extension, you can compose a letter of any complexity in Google Docs, and then export it to mail drafts and then work with it through Gmail.

8. Taskforce

A powerful extension that adds task manager functionality to Gmail. After installing Taskforce, a set of shortcut tags will appear in the side menu, and each email can be turned into a task, postponed, or archived to return to it later.

9. Share and attach files in Gmail ™

An indispensable extension for those who actively work with files in cloud storage and other services. It will add integration to Gmail with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, as well as Evernote, Yandex. Disk and many other services. It will be possible to attach to letters both links to files and the files themselves.

10. Dittach

And one more extension that simplifies the work with attached files. It adds a small sidebar to the interface where all attachments are collected. By default, a list of recent files is displayed, but if you open the menu, you can view the sent and received files, as well as sort them by type.
