Using Gmail to Fight Chain Mails
I’ve already talked in a previous post about how chain mails drive me mad.
Now it’s time to take action, using Gmail’s powerful feature.
One thing one can do, is using Gmail filters to identify chain mails according to the mail’s subject (Which will be typically “Fw:Fw something” or similar), and archive/delete/label this message. But, this is not aggressive enough. Here is another action one can take using another powerful Gmail feature (currently a “Labs” feature).
Did You Notice the New Task Manager in Gmail?
As usual, Google releases a new great feature/service, silently, and after a while it becomes so popular. In fact, this is one thing that I love about Google: You always have to look for new features and new services, they won’t let you know unless you actively want to know.
Anyway, recently I discovered a very cool (and useful) service in GMail: A Task Manager built-in GMail, with a minimal and simple UI (this is one other thing that I like in Google).
