Google’s rolled out a new option to turn off “conversation view” in Gmail. I’m dumbfounded that I’ve seen two different people now question why anyone would want to do this. OK, I’ll bite. But Conversation View Is So Great! Let’s do the critics first. Here’s Google’s Matt Cutts about the crazy people who don’t want [...]

Periodically, I shrink my Outlook PST file. For one reason, it’s easier to back it up manually from time to time when it’s smaller. For another, I guess I feel things just run better when it’s small and tidy. Today, I shrank my file from over 1.1 GB to 80MB, a pretty drastic reduction. Being [...]

Back in April, I became one of the rare people to run out of Gmail space. Due to a glitch with Google, I was also unable to purchase more space for several weeks. As a result, I became hyperaware of how much email space gets eaten up each day routinely. Newsletters, product offers, Facebook and [...]

That’s why I was stunned about a half-hour ago to discover that suddenly, Outlook was downloading over 1,000 new messages that fortunately were then being routed to my spam folder. What was going on?

About two weeks ago, I dived in to merge two years worth of mail from one Gmail account to my existing Google Apps mail account. I wanted to cover how it went and how it caused me inadvertently to abandon my cherished desktop client, Outlook, for two weeks. No, it didn’t make me a web-based [...]

I’ve had a Gmail account since the day they were first offered, back in April 2004. Then at the end of 2006, I opened up a new Google-hosted mail account under my own domain name using Google Apps, which I highly recommend. It provided me with all the great archiving and spam filtering that made [...]

For whatever reason, I couldn’t get some of my messages from Outlook to actually send through Gmail this weekend. I went through the various things I’ve tried when this has happened in the past and settled on the solution of deleting my Gmail account settings and entering them anew into Outlook. When I went to [...]
