Paul from Lifehackery identified 10 overlooked email functions, some you may already utilize. For example, you can send yourself email reminders to read first thing in the morning and back up your phonebook in the contacts. Or you can use the account for file storage. Paul explains:

“Most email programs provide storage space worth several gigabytes for attachments, which means you can send large files via email. Naturally, you can use your email as a means of storing files. How?

• You can either send files to yourself then save them
• or set your account to automatically store sent files

This way, you can still access your most important documents, through your email, if your computer crashes or your hard drive gets corrupted. Having a backup is a necessity, especially if your work requires the use of a computer.”
