Here’s a quick Gmail tip you might like. If you’re one of those people who get a lot of images via Gmail, you don’t have to click each attachment one by one just to view them. You can either download all in one go. Or you can view them all in another browser window (or tab) in one go.

Simply scroll down to the attachments portion of your message view, and you will see the Download all attachments and View all images links.

If you click download all attachments, Gmail will automatically compress all the files into one ZIP file. That’s very convenient for downloading, since your browser won’t have to handle a lot of downloads.

If you click view all images, Gmail will open a new window or tab (depending on your browser), and display all the images on one page.

One gripe I have is that there is no option to view just thumbnails or smaller sizes of the images. So if all the attachment are in high-resolution, then you might have to scroll horizontally to view the images in their entirety (unlike when viewing single images in Firefox, wherein the image automatically zooms out to fit the browser window, and zoom to full size when you click), not to mention having to wait a while if the image file sizes are really large.
