Excellent. Then, that is pretty good!

I use a similar trick in Outlook (standalone, not cloud).  I  
prefix important folders with my AA initials:

 AA - orders
 AA - pending
 AA - SOs by email

  ...and then those sit at the top of the usual folders.

That is true. And you hope that there isn't too much latency in  
the connection when you realize you need to use it at the 25sec  
point.  :D  But I haven't needed to use it.  I don't use gmail  
very much at all. If I had to use Gmail exclusively, I would try  
to configure to "NOT send immediately" - as I have it configured  
like that with Outlook. That has saved me from plenty of  
embarrassment.
