A new way to work with email

John Wilkinson — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 23:05:18 +0000

Email is second only to web browsing in terms of how people spend most of their time on the internet. But despite it consuming so much of our time, little thought is put into the software we use to do it. Most people will be familiar with Outlook Express as it comes installed on most PCs when you first buy them. But there is a good selection of free alternatives available, some of which offer more functions and features.

A new kind of messaging application, the Postbox™ email client helps you spend less time managing email and more time using email to get things done. Postbox automatically analyzes your e-mail messages, documents, photos, and links to web pages; then it catalogs all this information making it faster to search for and retrieve.

Easy-to-use tagging features let you organize messages the way you want and then focus on one project at a time without missing out on important new messages. You can also view messages by conversation, edit messages, and create to-do items that appear in mailbox windows. For Windows and Macintosh.

Hi,

Something I want to share with you, iGoogle, this is Googles “portal” service, it allows you to create a customised internet home page. On this page you can display the Google search engine and tons of Google Gadgets such as RSS feeds, local weather, youtube videos and loads more.

I mainly use iGoogle to display RSS feeds, see the previous post to find out about RSS.

Once you have set up your iGoogle page please add the BMAWS Blog RSS to your page. To do this all you have to do is go to your iGoogle page click the “Add Stuff” link and on the next page in the bottom left click the “Add feed or gadget”, you can then enter the URL below:-
