BrandMyMail mashes your email and social networks together
23 Dec 2011 by Carl Natale
There are two types of email you can send: Text or HTML. Text is just the words. No colors. No photos. No layouts. HTML is basically a web page sent through email servers. For most of us, it really doesn’t matter when we send email. We just type, and the resulting HTML-formatted email is a mash-up of our words and whatever template comes with the email client. Now BrandMyMail will mash-up y...

U.S. Postal Service on the Brink of Bankruptcy Thanks to Email
23 Sep 2011 by Craig Lloyd / 1 Comment
It’s one of those situations where it only takes a matter of time, and that time is right around the corner for the United States Postal Service (USPS), which according to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, is on the verge of bankruptcy and will most likely default if Congress doesn’t step in and help out. It’s all mostly thanks to our migration to email and the Internet for sen...

How to maintain Inbox Zero and still read every email
10 Jun 2011 by Evan Wondrasek
My inbox is a sanctuary, a veritable digital zen garden. I have 0 unread messages, I’ve never declared email bankruptcy, and I do a fairly good job of replying to any email that needs my input. A series of small yellow stars decorate my inbox, denoting any messages that still require my action. I’ve never really talked about my email practices with others before, so I was surprised w...

The Day I Left Firefox Behind
27 Jan 2011 by Bryant Sombke / 14 Comments
In the early times of the Information Age, web junkies like myself did not have many web browsing options. Internet Explorer had been absolutely terrible for essentially its entire existence, but early versions of Netscape Navigator and Netscape Communicator left much to be desired. Then Netscape 6 was released, which was based on the young, yet promising, Mozilla Application Suite. Unfortunately, I never paid much attention to it; Like many consumers, Microsoft was all I knew.

Fix: Advanced Search Fields in Microsoft Outlook are Disabled or “Grayed Out”
11 Jan 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 3 Comments
Group policy is a feature in the Microsoft Windows operating system that allows administrators to set rules and privileges for users on a network. One of its abilities is to disable indexing of files on your hard drive, which can be done for security or performance purposes. A common problem that can occur when indexing gets disabled is that you can no longer perform advanced email searches in M...

Facebook Unveils New Messaging Service That Will Revolutionize Communication
18 Nov 2010 by Jacob Bean / 10 Comments
Is Facebook trying to conquer the world? It seems so. On Monday, Facebook held a conference in California where a new messaging service powered by the uber-giant, social-networking site was unveiled. There has been a lot of speculation and buzz the past few weeks and months about Facebook’s version of email. While it’s being officially called “Project Titan”, I think its “codename”...

Crack the Lid on Gmail’s Canned Responses to Dish Out Quick Replies
08 Nov 2010 by Evan Wondrasek
If you find yourself writing impersonal, repetitive emails often, Gmail’s Canned Responses feature is a great way to streamline this tedious process. Canned Responses allows you to save pre-written messages, so next time you need to remind Ted that the wireless network’s ID is “Potato1″ you can take care of it with just a couple clicks. To activate Canned Responses, open...

Psych Out the Email Spammers By Using 10 Minute Mail
26 Oct 2010 by Kevin Ivanca / 1 Comment
If you are like me, you have a few email accounts doing very specific things. One account is most likely for work, another for personal, and then there is the illustrious spam account. This account is like a neglected shelf in the refrigerator. Stuff comes in, sits a while, piles up, and before you know it, you are spending an entire afternoon trashing the junk and filtering the items that hav...

Priority Inbox: Gmail Tells You What Messages are Important, You Profit (?)
01 Sep 2010 by Kevin Ivanca / 3 Comments
Busy people, rejoice. Gmail, the primary electronic mail client offered by the giant Google, is getting a simple add-on sometime in the near future (it’s actually rolling out right now, but it will be a week before everybody has it). What does it entail, one might ask? Well, its a filter. Not a new spam filter (Gmail already has one of those), but a new new filter that tells you, the u...

Gmail Improves Undo Send Feature, Saving Careers and Relationships
23 Aug 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
I’m probably a little over-paranoid, but I always get a slight wave of anxiety before I send an important email. Questions like “Did I say the right things?”, “Did I address it to the correct person?”, and “Did I refrain from speaking like a pirate?” all rush through my head before I click that ominous little Send button. As a relief to me, Gmail release...
