Gmail now uses HTTPS by default

By JortK on January 14, 2010

In 2008, we rolled out the option to always use https — encrypting your mail as it travels between your web browser and our servers. Using https helps protect data from being snooped by third parties, such as in public wifi hotspots. We initially left the choice of using it up to you because there’s [...]

Use Gmail to send email from another address

By JortK on January 9, 2010

Quite a few of you use Gmail’s custom “From:” to send messages with one of your other email addresses listed in place of your Gmail address. Since these messages are sent by Gmail’s servers but “from” a non-Gmail address, we have to include your original Gmail username in the “Sender” field of the message header [...]

Just [...]

See who is using a Android phone!

By JortK on November 19, 2009

Gmail chat status (those green, orange, and red bubbles) indicates if your friends are online or not. But sometimes my buddies appear green when they’re not really “online online” — they just have chat open on their Android phones. Turn on Green Robot, a new experiment in Gmail Labs, and you’ll see a robot icon [...]

Gmail: Choose which messages get downloaded for offline use

By JortK on November 16, 2009

Like an increasing number of people these days, I like to stay productive during my flights (even those without wifi access). A long flight is a perfect opportunity to go through everything in my inbox and catch up on older mail. I use Offline Gmail in Gmail Labs to access my mail while disconnected. However, [...]

Purchase Gmail storage

By JortK on November 14, 2009

When Gmail launched five years ago, it came with a gigabyte of storage space. A gigabyte doesn’t seem like very much any more, and now every Gmail account comes with more than seven gigs of space (and growing). Still, some people manage to use up all of this (that’s a lot of email…), so for [...]

Is Gmail the World’s Greenest Email?

By JortK on October 25, 2009

IT and consumer computer use are major worldwide contributors to carbon emissions — and there’s no doubt that email is responsible for more than its share of that total. And every time you send and receive email — and even when you merely store email on a server — you use energy. One person, though, [...]
