This holiday season the folks responsible for the Gmail app for Android have added the ability to set an instant-response email to incoming emails, a service that’s existed in the web browser-based interface for some time. This feature will allow users to set up and respond to all emails – or select contacts – for […]
There’s a bit of dissent out there in the email universe with those that would deter users from working with the most popular electronic mail client in the world: Gmail. The folks at Microsoft’s Outlook.com have struck a potential blow against the email giant this week with a guide that aims to make the switch […]
Microsoft and Google both run two of the most widely used email services, Outlook.com and Gmail. It obviously won’t come as a surprise to see one try to poach users from the other. Redmond has developed a new tool to entice existing Gmail users to make the switch over to its email service. Thanks to the recent addition of IMAP support to Outlook.com, the tool is much better than previous import features. Not only will it import all email from the Gmail account, it will also import labels with their proper structures and let users access existing Gmail contacts and even Google Talk from inside Outlook.com.
Only the most recent emails are imported first, with the rest being imported shortly after that. The import procedure is significantly better than before, the POP3 based feature often failed to import emails with their labels and read status, which meant that users had to sort things out manually after they had imported all emails. Users will also be able to set their Gmail address as a “send-only” account, so they will have the option to send emails through their @gmail addresses from within Outlook.com. If you’re willing to make the switch now, keep in mind that the tool’s roll out is going to take a couple of weeks, so its possible that you might not have access at this very moment.

Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories, downloads, and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about.

Sprint and Google Voice Integration Not Very Smooth
I don’t even have a Sprint account but I was still pretty excited when I saw that the Google Voice integration with the carrier was live. I was thinking that this may mean other carriers would follow down the same path, but it looks like there are some major kinks that would have to be worked out first. I’ll just stick to using Google Voice on my phone without any direct carrier integration.
LastPass Takes Precautions for Traffic Anomaly
There’s a lot of news floating around that LastPass has been hacked, but really all LastPass is trying to do is take precautions for a network traffic anomaly that they haven’t been able to explain. In an interview their CEO said that if accounts were compromised it would “be on the orders of tens of users out of millions that could be in that scenario.“
Spotify Adds iPod Syncing
The new version of Spotify will let you manage your iPod classic, iPod nano and iPod shuffle directly in Spotify. You’ll then be able to sync playlists to the devices just like you can in iTunes.

Bin Laden Web Traffic Doesn’t Break Records
Akamai says that the traffic around Osama Bin Laden’s death hit 4.1 million page views per minute, but that doesn’t even put the event in the top 10.
Amazon Selling Top Songs at $0.69 Each
Amazon is getting competitive in the music market by pricing many of the most downloaded songs on the site at just $0.69, which undercuts Apple even more than Amazon’s pricing already did.
Search Cydia from Your Desktop Browser
The Cydia Search website will let you look for apps on your desktop computer to make finding your downloads a bit easier. You cannot, however, use this to download apps.
Chrome-Style Scrollbar Search Highlighting in Firefox
One of my favorite features in Chrome is whenever you perform a “find in page” search it will highlight the locations where the results appear in the scrollbar. With this extension you can get similar functionality in Firefox.

Google has added Gmail and Google Calendar to Google Takeout, the company’s data-export tool, making it more straightforward for users to extract their personal content and jump ship to other platforms. The new additions, which will be rolling out over the next month, join the existing Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and other cloud export options […]
Google has announced today that it is now allowing people to download a copy of their user data on Gmail and Google Calendar. They will have the luxury to download all of the data, or choose to download specific filters, calendars and labels. Users will also have the ability to download a single archive of their data across various Google products such as Google+, YouTube, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive and more. This feature expands on the existing Takeout feature that already allows users to download a copy of their data from some Google services.
By offering this feature, Google makes it easier for users to backup their data or even move it to other services. Email and calendar data is downloaded in MBOX format, which can be imported in other similar services. Starting today, Google is allowing everyone to download their Calendar data right away. The company says that the ability to download Gmail messages will be gradually rolled out. The process is going to be completed over the next month, so hold on to your horses if you have been waiting to download a copy of all of your emails on Gmail.

Remember those Gmail Labs features that Google launched back in June? They included features for Gmail like mouse gestures, the option to choose from additional star icons, and more. The great thing about all of these features are that each is opt-in so that only the additional features you want added, will be added to your Gmail account. Overall, Gmail Labs has received good reviews with people satisfied with what it offers, although there were requests for Google to create more features or allow users create their own.
Just yesterday Google released three more labs features, all having to do with labeling. They include:
Are there any features you wish Google would release for Gmail that they haven’t already? To access these features, remember that you have to go up to the Settings tab, then click the section to the far right labeled “Labs.” Also keep in mind that not every country has this feature.
