Generate Advanced Gmail Analytics And Statistics
As I said above, it is very easy to generate stats for your Gmail account in just a few clicks. You can simply click the Get Started button given on the home page of the app (as you can see in the above screenshot). No registration is required and the app directly asks for permission to link your Gmail account. Once you grant the access, a page appears where you can click on the Build My Report button and wait.
The speed of the app is also very quick. The report I generated while testing hardly took 5 minutes. The report sent to users via mail is on a weekly basis and new reports are sent every week.
The users can also remove authorization of the the app if they want, so that they don’t receive any emails in future. A mail with the process to uninstall is sent in the beginning itself.
Statistics Covered By Gmail Meter:
- Emails received
- Emails Sent

This app can really be appreciated for the peculiar statistics it provides. Some of the statistics like response time, word count, top threads are really rare to find and give you a complete insight into your account. The attractive graphs and tables shown in the report also need to be praised.
As you can see, it does not reports statistics on large emails that can help you in reclaiming some GMail space. For that, you can check try out other ways to find large emails in GMail.

Final Note
Before undoubtedly concluding this article with a thumbs up, there is one concern that I would like to address. Since, the app is a third party and not affiliated to Google, I was a bit concerned about the security of my data in my email. The app requires access to all your data in the account to create a complete report. This can be a little concerning for some users. But, as the app is well supported by some big names, I went ahead and tried it out.
Also, even though it reports some good statistics, I wished it also reported things like largest emails, largest attachments, etc. I hope they add these statistics in future.
