If you use Gmail to get your daily dose of emails you're about to see a small but significant change to your inbox. Google has just announced the launch of a useful upgrade which will make it much easier to tell if a message is really from well-known brands or simply another elaborate scam.
That useful boost is all thanks to the inclusion of Twitter-style blue verification ticks which will be included on emails sent from official accounts.
These icons, which are really simple to spot, will appear right beside the sender's company name.
