I want to save a hyperlink so I can access an email easily in the future. How can I do this in Gmail?

You can create a List to save frequently accessed hyperlinks within Tasks in GMail. You can also star & assign labels to special emails.

This answer is unclear. How does that get you the link to the email? Jul 9, 2018 at 23:38

Check out the solution I posted below. IT's 6 extra steps but it works. Jul 9, 2018 at 23:54
Without preview pane: Open the conversation and copy the browser url
With preview pane:
- Toggle the preview pane with the button on the top right corner
- Open the conversation
- Copy the browser url
- Toggle the preview pane on again
If you don't want the conversation but only a specific e-mail you can disable the conversation view and then the steps above should work the same.

The only way I've managed to do it (kludgey) is to create a filter that matches to that email.
to: "some unique part of subject" And then grab the search URL from the Location bar.

Desciption
Get the e-mail link with a bookmarklet.
Installation
Create a bookmark with the url below
javascript:window.open("https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/rfc822msgid%3A" + encodeURIComponent(document.getElementsByClassName('message_id')[0].innerHTML.slice(4, -4)), "_self");
Usage
- Open the original message (see image below)
- Click on the bookmark
Result
After clicking the bookmark you will see gmail with one conversation. Open the conversation and the message you are looking for will be expanded while the other messages are collapsed.
