Firefox Gmail Plugins Intro

Gmail has been around for almost a decade now and millions of users around the world still use it today. Yet, despite being backed by Google, Gmail is still a service that’s rather skimpy on the features. Fortunately, if you still want to use Gmail in your browser, there are a number of great plugins that will transform your Gmail experience right away. If you use a third-party client like Thunderbird or Postbox, you may want to reconsider.

Kloudless

Kloudless closes the gap between email and cloud-storage, creating a link that makes perfect sense, is incredibly convenient, and is one of those features that you won't know how to live without once you get it set up. Kloudless serves several functions - one of which is to automatically back up your email attachments to cloud-based storage accounts.

Why isn't POP extinct yet? Good question! Unfortunately, some mail providers (most notably ISPs) still aren't supporting IMAP. You're stuck with POP. This causes a huge problem, because a lot of today's application developers don't care about it, thus don't bother to support it. In this post, I'd like to show you how to work around this issue.

How do you use your Windows Phone? I know a lot of users who are purely addicted to a combination of WhatsApp and Xbox Live gaming. Others enjoy their Windows Phones purely due to the social networking options (which are admittedly impressive). Then there are also those of us who take advantage of the various productivity tools. Email is of course one of these (along with the mobile Microsoft Office).

I don't know about you, but I still find checking, writing, and managing email a tedious task. Two recently released iOS mail clients, Mailbox, and now Mail Pilot ($14.99) make great use of the iPhone and iPad's gesture navigation features to help you turn your inbox into a to-do manager for the email you receive. Today we'll be looking at Mail Pilot, a client that's not just about checking and reading email but also performing actions with those messages so you can get things done.

Gmail is a powerful webmail client. You can manage multiple email accounts using a single Gmail account, easily set up advanced filters to manage incoming email, or quickly find archived emails using Google’s advanced search options. There is no end to Gmail’s awesomeness for everyday use, hence most users don’t even scratch the surface of [...]

I have previously covered timesaving features in the latest version of Apple's Mail client, but despite its improved user interface, search features, favorites bar and VIP folders, there are still missing features Mac power users could use to be more productive in Mail. Fortunately, there are several third-party plug-ins that enhance Mail and address some of its annoying problems or missing features.

There's no doubt, as far as email options go, Gmail is one of the services that really does a lot to boost your productivity. Whether it's through the creative use of labels or Gmail filters, canned responses, and more, Gmail lends itself to a more productive email experience. While Google has certainly put a lot of thought into the product, there are a few Chrome extensions out there that can make the Google experience even better.

If you have been feeling slightly vexed with the old Gmail Android app , you can now run your inbox using the more efficient reply, archive and search features of the latest version of the app. The update comes with an improved interface that is designed to make emailing more productive using faster actions. If you're using Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, you can now reply, archive and delete messages right from notifications with a single tap.

Life revolves around communication and literally nothing gets accomplished without it. Email is a communication tool meant to make your life easier. Instead of having to type up a letter or try to catch someone on the phone or in person, you can quickly type a few lines and be over it. But email can also be a significant time sink. This typically happens when it is used in the wrong way.

If you work in a typical office environment, the odds are pretty good that the mail system is an Exchange sever and that the mail client of choice is Outlook. We've covered Outlook here at MUO from a few angles, including Outlook Journal and backing up your Outlook data. We even covered some cool VBA scripting in Outlook where you could export your tasks into an Excel spreadsheet. In this article, I'm going to take a closer look at the Outlook client itself.

Email has almost completely replaced snail mail communication. Now everyone is trying to get into your inbox. From family and friends to companies and advertisers, they all demand a piece of your attention. If you have not been managing your inbox with filters and other prioritization tools, it must be a mess. And with ever more emails cluttering it up, it's easy to lose track. Have you ever missed an important email?

Email

Do you still use any desktop email clients? The last one that I ever made any significant use of was Outlook Express, and that feels like forever ago. Since then, I've given both Thunderbird and Postbox (which I was very impressed with) a spin, but desktop email clients in general seem like a lost cause to a Gmail user like myself. Nothing beats the Gmail web interface, in my opinion. My opinion isn't the law of the land though.

The default Mail client for the iPhone has become in my opinion outdated, or it's certainly not as advanced as the hardware it resides in. Mail is not fun to navigate, and its latest features don't provide much of a productivity boost. But the just released popular third-party email client, Mailbox (Free), may make Apple's Mail client feel like a third-rate piece of software.
