Tip of the Day: Gmail emails have permanent URLs. Bookmark them!

My post on email commands got me thinking a little. I was observing the way Gmail structures each single email you are receiving or sending. From my own test, they all have one unique URL. This means that you can access directly those emails if you "type" this URL. This sounds like a useless feature but i think it can be very helpful to keep/bookmark emails that are really important to you.

Of course there is the amazing Google search inside, but you can easily with one request end up with several results. Bookmarking an email is saving you this hassle. specially if it is really important. To find the URL just open the email you are interested in saving, look at the address bar of your browser and either copy/paste it or bookmark it where you want (in Delicious in private mode for example)

For example: i have a phone call next week with a company that sent me their presentations in attachment. I create a Calendar event in which i added the link to that email, so i can find easily the document for the call (without having to download them)
