My New Website for Email Forwards

DSP — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:15:16 +0000

I thought this idea should work out better. I found many people in any office, spend little or more time reading the forwarded messages and they take time to forward the messages again.

If these messages are so interesting then they can visit this Email Forwards website where it will have all the forward emails in one place. You can browse them in a category.

Email Forwards is a website, which subdomain of www.Consultmirror.com So the address is www.email.consultmirror.com

Some times it may contain illegal content, but I am ready to take it down if any one complains.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post a comment

What is CC and BCC?

DSP — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:54:12 +0000

You will hear this when you send an email or you will see people talking about this.

CC means Carbon Copy

BCC means Blind Carbon Copy

If you want to send an email to your staff and also if you want to notify your supervisor about the same email, in the TO field of the message, type the supervisor�s email address and in CC field enter the other staff email addresses.

So basically To means to whom the email is intended for CC means you want the other person also to be notified that you have send a mail TO some one.

Now use BCC when you do not want the TO and CC persons to know that you are copying this email to someone else at BCC.

So going back to the same example, Send the email TO your staff and CC your supervisor and BCC your boss. Now your staff and supervisor will not know that you have send the same email to your Boss. Which is why this is called Blind Carbon Copy (BCC)

How to ZIP or Compress Folders and email?

DSP — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 16:52:40 +0000

You cannot email a folder containing many files. No email provider allows that.

But you can compress the folder or convert the folder into Zipped file and email it.

All email provider allow you to send the files but not the folders, folders only contain many files but folders are not files.

If you have many files in one folder, simply follow the steps to ZIP and email.

I have created a demo folder for demo purpose

The folder name is Demo and it contains many text documents inside as seen below

Folder with many files

Now go back to the folder and right click the folder

You will get set of menu which is called “Context Menu”

Click on “Send to” menu

Then click “Compressed (zipped) Folder” menu as seen below

Compressing Folder

You will sometime get a notification as seen below

Compressing Folder Notification

You can click “Yes”

Once you click that, based on the size of the folder, you will immediately get a Zipped file instead of a folder.

Compressed Folder Zip File

Now you can view this folder in any Windows PC that is using XP or Vista. And you can also email this file as an attachment.

There are seperate softwares available for compressing folders and files. I have posted this only to help you know how to email a folder.

If you have any question or suggestion, post a comment

There are more advantages and disadvantages for both category. I always suggest you to choose an email provider with web mail and also with IMAP access

DSP — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:25:03 +0000

How to get an email ID from Gmail?

Go to the website gmail.com

You will get a screen like below, and click on the “Sign Up for Gmail” button

Gmail Sign Up page

Choose the language you want Google to display
Fill your details in the page that appear like below

Gmail Sign Up form

Enter your first and last name
Login name is the one you need to use to sign in to google mail or this is called your email ID
It will not be easy to get something fancy, but always try to relate the id with your name, so your friends can easily remember your ID
Check if the ID is already taken, if taken try another one (there is no limitation to check which Id you want)
Choose a strong password with a mixer of symbols and and alphanumeric characters.
The chat feature is enabled by default in gmail. You can choose to store the history or not
Security Question
- This is very important
- I have lost couple of IDs because I was not able to remember the security question and the answer
- Ask your own question or choose a common question for all your email
- The most common questions in any email sign up form are
  - What is your first pet name
  - What is your first school name
- Choose the one which you can remember
- Maintain a diary if you want to, but keep it in a safe place
- Do not save the password and security answers in your computer (You may not be able to retrieve it if it crashes)
If you have one more email ID, you can submit that to Google. So Gmail will send you the confirmation. You can leave it empty if you do not have any other email ID
Choose your country
Enter the letter shown in the image. This will be difficult to identify, please take a close look and enter it. If you have entered it wrong it will ask you again to enter it correctly
Read the terms of service and Accept the terms
If you have entered any wrong information, the form will appear again and the wrong fields are highlighted.

It is very easy to get the Gmail ID. I have also posted Gmail features and tips and tricks to get full benefits of Google Mail.

Remember do not try to create more than 2 or 3 email IDs at the same time. Google allows user to create up to 10 email ID at the same time.
