This is in addition to Google's existing efforts to keep known "spam" out of users' Inboxes. Users will see a question mark flag in place of the sender’s profile photo (or corporate logo/avatar) if Google cannot authenticate a...

For the past few months, the consumer technology press has been gushing about the new "Events from Gmail" feature that auto-recognizes events (e.g., flights, restaurant reservations, concerts) listed in incoming emails and automatically adds them to your Google Calendar.

This can be very useful in keeping that Bcc recipient from "Replying All" to the message when "All" of the recipients don't know that particular individual received the message in the first place. One drawback, however, is that the ...
