Get familiar with your Gmail Settings. Click on the gear (top right) and then click on Settings.
From Settings, you can turn your conversation view on/off, adjust or turn off web clips (those little ads), turn “priority” inbox on/off, work with accounts, enable labs and much more!

Load it Up

Your Gmail inbox can support multiple email addresses coming in and going out … Gmail becomes your email client where you can manage all of your emails in one place (while still maintaining those separate identities).
Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import
Multiple Signatures

Create signatures for every account you want to send out from on Gmail. The account you chose as your default will automatically be the account you send from, but you can always switch between accounts when you are composing.
Settings > General tab > Signatures
Label it!
