To change your user preferences, just click Settings at the top of any Gmail page. From there, navigate to one of the appropriate tabs:
- On the General tab, you can change your language preferences, select display pictures for you and your contacts, or set up a vacation response. This tab is also where you'll find general display and navigation settings for your inbox.
- For 'Custom from:' options, setting up Mail Fetcher, upgrading your storage, or changing your Google Account Settings (including your Gmail password and security question), select the Accounts and Import tab.
- Managing labels and filters is easy with the Labels and Filters tabs.
- If you'd like to forward your mail to another account or use POP or IMAP to download your mail to a desktop or mobile client (Microsoft Outlook or an iPhone, e.g.), click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- You can also adjust web clips settings and learn more about them on the Web Clips tab.
