Gmail IMAP

Corporate types are used to reading their email via IMAP. Gmail will attract more of those types now that Gmail supports IMAP. Here it is demoed on, of all things, an iPhone. Don’t worry; it works with almost any IMAP client.
Oddly enough, IMAP doesn’t work with Google Apps mail yet. It would be even more […]

Zimbra Will Make Yahoo Mail Even Sexier

I use hosted Gmail across all my domains, but I have to admit: Yahoo Mail is pretty damn cool. From unlimited storage to an Outlookish-yet-snappy Ajax interface, Yahoo Mail presents stiff competition for the wonderfully elegant and pluggable Gmail.
Yahoo Mail’s only going to get cooler now that Yahoo has acquired open-source email server software provider […]

Gmail Is Full!

I can’t believe it, but I actually know someone that’s met the maximum limites of their Gmail account, Jeremy Wright (CEO of b5media) has hit 99% used space in his Gmail account.
I’m sure I don’t have anything to worry about though, I’m still looking at a cool 91% still available to me, or a little […]

MyBlogLog Spam

I got my first bit of spamment in the MyBlogLog messages feature today. I’m sure I’m not the first one to receive it, but here’s yet another open, blank canvas to spammers to start capitalizing on the internet.
Hopefully MyBlogLog can stay in front of things and do as much as possible to combat the spammer’s […]

E-mail Trio: Gmail, Yahoo!, Live/Hotmail

I’ve been in my main three webmail accounts quite a bit here over the past few days and I’ve noticed that there’s becoming more of a gap between all three than a convergence.

Google Groups Glitch

It’s old news now that Google Groups has finally come out of beta and refreshed everything with their redesign.
Answer me this Google Braniac, why in world can I not edit the nickname on my group members lists?

Google Reader Tab in Google Personalized Homepage

You know what I’d really like? I’d really like for the Google Reader to be available as a tab in my personalized Google HomePage. Just like the image above shows. Why isn’t that possible? As far as that goes, I think the various Google apps should be available as tabs. Why should I have to […]
