Later this week, Yahoo users will receive a new functionality in their inbox, with a button being added titled “Not My Email.” As its name suggests, this allows individuals to respond to messages with a simple notification that the intended recipient no longer has the email address, and follows the company’s decision this summer to […]
Now that you’ve given your iPhone a breath of fresh air with iOS 7, why not try something besides the old standby email apps? Along with a new interface, the recently overhauled Dispatch now includes background mail-fetching, alias support and even a multi-field search function. Four other features are explained in a post on the developer’s blog, and with version 1.2, Dispatch is approaching the point where you could think about ditching your old mail app. The two-man dev team promises more updates are in the works, but can’t commit to when we’ll see them, of course.

Considering just how connected we’ve all become to our mobile devices and computers as a primary way to communicate with one another, we know how important emails can be. Sending an instant message will probably get a quicker response, but there are several benefits to sending emails. One of those benefits is how those who correspond through email tend to be composed more professionally than instant messages, which often use acronyms such as “BRB,” “LMAO,” or “TTYL” and other ways to shorten the process of communicating with one another. The only issue with writing an email is how to properly write one without conveying the wrong message or emotion. If you’ve struggled with composing an email, then this animation is right up your alley. (more…)

Probably realizing that they can catch more fish with a bigger net, Microsoft announced the immediate availability of IMAP support for Outlook.com that will make Microsoft’s e-mail service compatible with countless applications. Outlook.com originally had only the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol, leaving out users who have their own favorite e-mail apps that do not have […]
Google may focus much of its attention on smartphones, but it knows that featurephone owners deserve a good online experience as well. Accordingly, it just launched a revamped Gmail web app for devices where modern browsers and touchscreens aren’t guaranteed. The new client requires fewer button presses to read and write messages; users can reply to email directly from the thread view, for example. While the need for basic webmail is disappearing as smartphones get ever cheaper, those who need (or prefer) a simple cellphone can try the new Gmail page today.

Every other startup out there is trying to become the new big thing in email, but what we get more often than not is a bunch of half-baked tweaks that sound nice on paper but don’t really do all that much to change the experience. Ping, however, actually is probably unlike any other email client you’ve used before.

We’ve all received spam mail at one point or another, with spam comments being the more common variety for those who run a website. The emails and comments focus on a wide range of offerings: sensationalist claims, cheap pharmaceuticals, and non-existent lotteries. Now one of the men behind this illicit industry, Igor A. Artimovich, has […]
It might not be the desktop app you’ve been waiting for, but this newest Mailbox is still pretty notable for its new mobile features. Perhaps the most important addition is the ability to search for emails not saved locally on your iPhone or iPad. It’s far from perfect — we’re unable to dig for old conversations dating more than a few months back — but it’s better than not having it at all. Once you’ve updated the app, you’ll also notice new sections in the Settings page, including a signature box for each linked account and the ability to change the default browser from Safari to Chrome. There’s also an option to link your account to Dropbox, which acquired Mailbox in March, in exchange for 1GB of free space on the cloud service. Unfortunately, there’s no news on the Android app or the reported integration with other email services — but we’ll keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Yahoo users eager for a name change began logging their interest for inactive usernames in mid-July, and now Mayer and Co. are finally ready to re-assign dormant email addresses. Messages from the search giant are going out to folks who applied for a new identity, notifying them if one of their screen names of choice is ready for the taking. Those who struck out on desired account names will automatically have their choices added to a “Watchlist,” and will be alerted if and when they’re freed up. While keeping tabs on preferred monikers via the Watchlist is free for those who registered their interest in snapping up handles, it’ll cost others the princely sum of $1.99 to monitor availability for three years. Click the neighboring source links to stake out a maximum of five names you’re partial to.

Remember Kolab? Groklaw dropped its name as a secure alternative to now-shuttered Lavabit after announcing its own demise. The Swiss company is trying to capitalize on the fresh notoriety, and has announced a lite version of its MyKolab secure email service. It skips the premium version’s calendars, tasks and other frills for half the price, about $5.25/month. There’s also a new file storage option for premium customers that offers 1GB of cloud space. Uploaded files can not only be viewed, but also attached directly to an email. And, if 1GB isn’t enough, you can always buy more storage. The company is located in Switzerland, where it can presumably resist NSA pressure to fall in line — so, if prefer your email with less PRISM, check the More Coverage link.
