If I turn Chat off, will I still receive notification that someone is trying to 'chat' with me?

Thank you

If you select "Chat off" in the Chat tab of Settings in Gmail, you won't receive chat requests anymore.

Thank you.
Is there a way to 'hide' my presence on gmail?

I don't think so, but I don't use Google Chat/Hangouts myself, so I'm not 100% sure.

According to this article turning chat off disables the online status indicator

That had been my understanding too, Stuart.

Thanks for the post.
