5 Gmail settings I always change (and 3 more I turn off)

I don't need grammar suggestions, thanks

Gmail is popular for a reason-it comes packed with quite a few features. But some of its default settings can be annoying or limited.

Fortunately, you can fix that. Dive into the settings and you'll find a surprising number of tweaks you can make to the interface. If you haven't already spent some time in there, I highly recommend it. You may find a few features you didn't know about before.

Not sure where to start? You can take a cue from my favorites. Among the list are five settings I absolutely have to change in order to find Gmail usable, and they're pretty universal. Try them out, and if you don't end up liking them, you can make different adjustments for your account.

Maximum page size: I can’t stand seeing only a handful of messages at one time, and to me, anything under 50 messages is a handful. I bump that number straight up to 100.
