Do Gmail chats become sent mail when somebody reads them?

I recently tried to chat with someone when they were not online (status was yellow). A few hours later it was still there and I added to the chat.

A few hours later again I came back and the chat window was gone and the content of it was in sent mail.

Does this mean the other person received it and that is why that happened?

Change the display name of my friends in Google+

Some friends chose weird nicknames that I cant relate to them and I cant recognize them in the Chat list.

How can I fix…

AIM via GMail chat is it encrypted through SSL?

When using GChat in the GMail interface (and using ssl/https), you have the ability to log in to AIM as well. Is this encrypted like the email and gchat?

Recently I’ve noticed there is an icon that warns me that the page “Contains unauthenticated content” which makes me wonder if the AJAX it’s using is encrypted or not. The details of that message…

How can I add a Google+ person to Gtalk?

How can I add a Google+ person (someone in my circles) to GTalk? There seems like there should be an easy way since GTalk (chat) is now embedded in Google+.

Searching my friend’s names doesn’t work, and I can’t always see an e-mail address on a G+ profile.

Snail animation in Gmail chat

I resized the chat window, and this snail appeared (also with animation):

Why did it appear? What’s its significance?

Answer [by Gabriel Petrovay]: Snail animation in Gmail chat

I think that the partner you chatted with typed: /shydino in his chat.

This is one of the easter eggs in Google Hangouts

If I block someone from Gmail chat, will it block them on Google+?

Somebody I have added to my Google+ circles is now showing up as chattable in my Gmail chat sidebar. I don’t want her to be able to see me as online whenever I’ve got a Gmail tab open – just when I’m using Google+.

But if I block her from regular Gmail chat, will it perform all the “block” functions on G+ as well (removing her…

How to group chat contacts in Gmail side chat list?

I have quite a lot contacts whom I chat with.

I already installed lab in Gmail which puts the chat list to the right side to have more space.

Now I’d like to group the contacts in the online list in any grouping, best would be the same as Gmail contact groups (or less relevantly maybe Circles), actually anything semantic (i.e. not grouped by…
