Disable Web Clips Above the Inbox and E-Mail Messages

SUMMARY: Disable ads, Gmail tips, news, and other information from appearing above your Inbox and e-mail messages.

This tip was written on March 21, 2007. Gmail's interface is subject to change.

1. Click the "Settings" link near the top-right of the page.

2. A "Settings" page will appear. Click the "Web Clips" link/tab.

3. The "Web Clips" tab will appear. Uncheck "Show my web clips above the Inbox".

Note that while this seems to remove ads from above your Inbox and e-mail messages, it will not completely remove advertisements from the Gmail service.
