Ugh. First, my iPhone had a dark spot on it’s screen. Next, the replacement had touchscreen problems. Then the re-replacement couldn’t connect to the 3G network. And now this… The Google Maps app started crashing on launch.
I’m currently doing a bit of Spring (Fall?) cleaning, and ran across something interesting in Gmail… Have you ever noticed that little one line strip of Adsense ads and RSS links above your inbox? Well, guess what? You can get rid of it.
I love technology as much as the next guy, so when Google Voice came out, I was intrigued. As handy as it seems, however, I just couldn’t find a good use for it. For me, it was a solution in search of a problem.
Do you ever leave unread messages in your Gmail inbox? If so, then you might be interested in the “TrueNew” message count that was introduced with the MailRoom app for iPhone. In short, TrueNew lists how many new unread messages you have.
Over the past few years, I’ve become increasingly dependent on Gmail. I actually have several different accounts that I need to keep separate for a variety of reasons, and have found that Mailplane is an excellent tool for managing them.
Wow. Just minutes after expressing my frustrations about being unable to control the order of Gmail filters, I figured out a simple workaround. As it turns out, Gmail Labs has a “Filter import/export” function that makes it all possible.
Title says it all… Why, oh why can’t I control the order in which Gmail filters are applied? They appear on the list in the order in which they were created, and there is no way to re-order them. Depending on how heavily you rely on filters for managing your e-mail, this matters. A lot.
One of the things that I constantly struggle with is e-mail overload. I get way more than I can handle, and I’m not great about processing it. That means that it builds up in my inbox to the point of overwhelming me.
