But Gmail being the fastest among other two it is widely being used .Search capabilities are rated as best for Gmail by Bill Trancer of Hitwise.com.I would share one hidden hack in gmail.Suppose you want to open an email that was sent to you by some person (name not known) and you only remember that he sent you a ppt ,then instead of spending time to look emails individually you can do it in few seconds. I receive a lot of email attachments (txt,doc,pdf,ppt,swf,zip,rar etc) into my gmail account but how to sort out files by file type?

Gmail do provide an option to do so but the hack is hidden. You can sort the file types by using the Gmail Search Mail. Follow simple steps to do so.

Step 1 : Type in Gmail Search Box “ has:attachment” (without quotes) following with your file format say pdf or ppt. If you are looking for ppt file, your search command will be.
