Think you're proficient with Gmail? Google is routinely adding and testing new features to help you be more productive and get the most out of the service. Most recently, Google launched a complete redesign of the Gmail interface, replacing its one-column email view with multiple inboxes that sort your mail depending on whom it's from: your contacts, social networks or retailers. From how to customize this new inbox to quickly transferring money, here's a look at five new Gmail features that will help you get work done. 1. Customize tour new inbox Gmail's new interface, which is still rolling out to users, automatically sets you up with five inbox tabs: primary, social, promotions, updates and forums. If some of these are useless to you, you can easily remove them. To customize the look of your new inbox, click the Settings button at the top right of your screen. Then, select "Configure inbox." On the form that pops up, uncheck the tabs you want to remove and...

WASHINGTON: Emails are the most common thing vulnerable to spying. Adam Levin, founder of Credit.com and Identity Theft 911, has given 11 steps not to do with email and doing which will make us vulnerable to hackers, ABC News reported. Firstly, he said that a person should never check their e-mail on an unsafe network, as a computer in an internet cafe, library or any other business may be infected with malware to steal your passwords. Secondly, people should log off their e-mails as soon as their work is over, as by staying signed up a hacker can gain immediate access. Thirdly, Levin said that email login name and password should not be repeated. Fourthly, another problem is that people do not their old-emails properly, which could contain addresses, account usernames and passwords, contact information foryour pals, financial data and may other sensitive information. Fifthly, if an email comes to you that promises a loan or credit card that is worth a guarant...

Passwords, for the longest time, have been the first wave of defence for an account on the internet. But with so many web services being used, it's simply not possible to keep a new password for each account, and users tend to reuse the password. This poses security issues.  "Remote hackers can use many permutations and combinations and guess your password. They can use brute force and break into your account. But with people reusing passwords, even their other services can be compromised," says Mark Risher, CEO of Impermium.  Impermium is an internet security company, with offices in Bangalore and California, that is trying to move beyond passwords. The company was founded by veterans from Yahoo Mail, where they dealt with problems of spam, web security and fraudulent account creation. They realized that it wasn't an issue with just Yahoo's services but rather a problem with every website on the internet, and founded Impermium in 2010....

Some people are so rude. Really, who sends an email or text message that just says "Thank you"? Who leaves a voice mail message when you don't answer, rather than texting you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?  Don't these people realize that they are wasting your time?  Of course, some people might think me the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies. But many social norms just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.  Take the "thank you" message. Daniel Post Senning, a great-great-grandson of Emily Post and a co-author of the 18th edition of "Emily Post's Etiquette," asked: "At what point does appreciation and showing appreciation outweigh the cost?"  Senning sees it as part of the evolution of etiquette, with the younger generation creating new norms as technology changes, often to the objections of the older generation.  That said, he added, "it ...

Ever wanted to send a large file but were held back by the email providers' attachment limits? Hitesh Raj Bhagat & Karan Bajaj show you how to quickly share larger files using various services. Sending Large Files: Most email providers allow you to attach up to 25MB of data to one email. This method works fine if you're sending multiple smaller files — you can just split them into batches. But what if you need to send a 1GB video recorded using your camera, without uploading it to YouTube ? What if you have a slow internet connection? These are some of the best practices to keep in mind when sending large files. Zip Multiple Files: Rather than attach & send a large batch of individual files, it's more convienient for the recipient if you just zip them into one file. The added advantage is that you can password protect the file for extra security. Make sure you send the password separately. Keep The Delete Links: If you use a file hosting servi...

Do you feel the 25MB limit for attachments in Gmail is not enough? Well Google seems to have heard your prayers. The search giant has integrated Google Drive-based attachments in its email service so that users can now send files up to 10GB in size. Google Driveis the company's cloud storage service, similar to Microsoft SkyDrive and DropBox. On the official Gmail blog, Phil Sharp, Gmail product manager, posted: "you can insert files from Drive directly into an email without leaving your Gmail." He added, "...with Drive, you can insert files up to 10GB -- 400 times larger than what you can send as a traditional attachment. Also, because you're sending a file stored in the cloud, all your recipients will have access to the same, most-up-to-date version." In case all the recipients of the mail do not have access to the file in Google Drive, Gmail will prompt the user so the requisite settings can be altered from the open message box i...
