How to stop spams
Sometimes we have to post the email id on some sites, this will increase the chances of getting spams in your inbox.
So follow some techniques and you ll know the safer way to post e mail address on websites
Replace the AT (@) and DOT (.) symbols:
a.p.agarwaal AT gmail DOT com
a.p.agarwaal (at) gmail.com
a.p.agarwaal@gmail.com
a.p.agarwaal_AT_gmail_DOT_com
Replace text with an image:
This technique involves creating a graphic or screen capture of your email address text in jpg, png or gif formats and display that picture instead of the actual address string. Robots and spiders can't read the text that is embedded in the image. Anyone who wants to email you will have to manually type in your address though.
Email Obfuscators
E-mail Obfuscator make you email less vulnerable to spammers. Using an online email Obfuscator, convert (or disguise) individual characters of your email address into corresponding ASCII code (a <=> a hex coding) For example, the email address a@b.com is represented in ASCII as:
a@b.com
The above ASCII string can be used as arguement for mailto: HTML tag as shown here. Email addresses will appear perfectly normal, and will even be clickable, to human visitors to your website.

SOME TIME ADS WILL MAKE US CRUMPY THIS IS FOR REMOVING THAT FROM GMAIL We have said much about Gmail, but one of the user asked us to write about " removing Gmail ads "Publish Post . We thought this will help many people in using Gmail in a better way, in addition to this let us understand about those ads.Ads in Gmail is very annoying and with a little trick you can hide them [ i) using extensions ii) modifying usercontent.css file ] Now that you have CromeEdit installed, click on the Firefox Tools menu and then click on the menu item labeled Edit User Files. A new window will appear that has five tabs across the top. Click on the tab that is labeled userContent.css. Next copy the CSS code below and paste it into the userContent.css file, then click the Save button. #rh table[class=”metatable”]{display: none !important;}
What are Google ads ?
Probably, you might have listened to the Google ad-words or text ads ( one of the prominent revenue generator for all webmasters and bloggers). Google acts as a mediator between ad publishers (bloggers/webmasters...) and ad companies. Both of them have to register with Google. The publishers have to place those ads at any part of their webpages, when someone clicks on them, the publisher and Google company gets some money which is decided by the ad-company and Google company's agreement. So, Gmail places these ads at all its publishable webpages including Gmail. Google is the publisher of ads in Gmail. Thus it gets double benfit.
How to remove the ads ?
Ads can be removed in two ways, i) using extensions ii) modifying usercontent.css file
1. Adding extensions :
Works with : Firefox 1.5 - 2.0.0.*, click here to install this extension.
b) Stylish : Customize the look of the application and of websites with Stylish, a user styles manager. Stylish allows easy management of user styles. User styles empower your browsing experience by letting you fix ugly sites, customize the look of your browser or mail client, or just have fun. With an online repository at userstyles.org, you don't even need to know how to write styles yourself; just a couple clicks and the chosen style is applied. Stylish is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript, and unlike other methods of using user styles, most styles take effect immediately.
Works with : Firefox 1.5 – 3.0a5, click here to install add-on.
c) Using Grease monkey script : Install grease monkey addon to your Firefox browser and click here to install the script that removes the ads from Gmail.
2. Modifying Usercontent.css file : Before we start modifying our userContent.css file, I would recommend that you install an extension named ChromeEdit that simplifies the process of modifying your Firefox configuration files. So before you enter the CSS code listed below, go and install this extension (note : you’ll need to restart your browser after installation, so you may want to bookmark this page).
#rh div[class=”c”] {display: none !important;}
Extra Tip : For installing the script in Opera, save the script somewhere on your HardDisk, say C:\\Program Files\\Opera\\Profile\\UserJs\\, or anywhere you like. After that go Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > Javascript Options in your Opera browser and click the choose button at the bottom of the window and select the directory where you saved the userscripts. Reload your webmail window and enjoy Ad free version of your favorite webmail service.
Note : Removing ads from Gmail is illegal and hence, if you use these scripts, do it at your own risk. Well, we all know that there is no risk, but still I have warned you
Often you have loads of files to share with your friends, family and colleague. But sharing your files with a group with tools such as Dropbox is a test of your patience. To share your files with a group of users you need to upload your files to a centralized server first, then generate a shared URL and send to the recipients that entire process could be much time consuming. What if you could share files directly from your computer to a group of people without going through so many time-consuming steps. Voila! I got across a freeware that allows you to share your files easily from your computer directly using Gmail - . It simplifies the process of file sharing by treating each of the Gmail addresses as unique IP address for all the computers with g2Peer installed.

Gmail imposes a limit on the attachment size (20 MB) and the overall storage space (7.5 GB and growing) but there’s also a daily quote on sending email.
1. If you access Gmail via POP or IMAP clients (like Microsoft Outlook), you can send an email message to a maximum of 100 people at a time. Cross the limit and your account will be disabled for a day with the error "550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded."
2. If you access Gmail from the browser, you may not address an email message to more than 500 people at a time. Try adding any more recipients in the To, CC or BCC field and your Gmail account will get probably disabled for 24-72 hours. Error: "Gmail Lockdown in Secton 4"
3. So i suggest you to Always double check email addresses of recipients beforeSending mails to users. If the e mail you have sent contains a large number of non-existent or broken addresses that bounce back on failed delivery than your account will get disabled.
4: Maximum time for checking mail account – Google will disable your Gmail account permanently if you don’t check your Gmail email for a period of nine months. All the stored messages will be deleted and you Gmail address (user name) may be released for others to grab it.
Here i am showing a small tricks on GMAIL which is not popular so read it.
Still not convinced? What's So Great About Gmail?
Here's a few things you may not have known you can do with Gmail.
1. Use Gmail Offline With Google Gears
If you have Google Gears installed, you can use Gmail on the Web just like you were using it from a desktop client. It runs in three modes, online, offline, and "flaky connection" for those times when you can't count on a good signal.If you send message while you're offline, your message will be sent while you reconnect, and you can browse through the messages you've already received.
2. Get Driving Directons From Gmail
Did someone send you an invitation with an address? Google automatically detects addresses in messages and creates a link to the right of your message asking if you would like to map it. It also asks if you'd like to track packages when you receive messages that contain them.3. Turn on Experimental Features With Gmail Labs
Gmail Labs is a feature of Gmail that allows you to experiment with features that aren't necessarily ready for wide release. If they're popular, they might eventually be incorporated into the main Gmail interface.Example tools include Mail Goggles that attempts to give you a sobriety test before you post on the weekend. Another includes a game. Gmail Labs also includes the very useful task list.
4. Add Gmail Themes
Rather than using the same Gmail background, you can use Gmail themes. Some themes even change during the day, similar to iGoogle themes. Some of them make your email harder to read, but most of them are pure fun.5. Put a Task List on Your Gmail
This feature took a long time to arrive, but it was worth the wait. It is part of Gmail Labs. You can create a task list that shows you your to-do items and lets you check them off when completed. It also allows you to assign due dates and add details, as you would expect.Your task list can stay hidden, float above the other items on your page, or open in a new window. This is very handy when you want to get something done without leaving your entire Gmail page on the screen.
6. Get Free IMAP and POP Mail
Many competing Web mail systems either don't offer offline access or charge for them. Gmail supports both POP and IMAP, which are industry standards for desktop emailclients. That means you can use Outlook, Thunderbird, or Mac Mail with your Gmail account.7. Use Google Apps to Send Gmail From Your Own Domain
I've seen plenty of people give out Gmail addresses as their professional contact, but you might still be worried that this might not look professional. There's an easy solution. If you own your own domain, you can use the free version of Google Apps to turn your domain address into your personal Gmail account.Messages going to youraddress@yourdomain.com would reach you using Gmail's servers, and your clients would never know the difference. It's also easier and cheaper than trying to maintain your own email server.
8. Video Chat From Gmail
Gmail is integrated with Google Chat and lets you send instant messages with your contacts. You can also engage in voice and video chats from both Windows-PCs and Macs. Video chat integration is not currently supported by the standalone version ofGoogle Talk.9. Check the Gmail Server Status
Gmail is reliable enough that outages make the news. That doesn't mean they don't happen. If you ever wonder if Gmail is down, you can check the Google Apps Status Dashboard. You'll find out if Gmail is running, and if it is down, you should find information about when they expect it to be online again.10. Remember the Milk
If you're not happy with Gmail's experimental task list, or you want to use a service with more features, try Remember the Milk. It's not made by Google, but it integrates with Gmail. You can still see your task list in Gmail or have reminders sent to you by email.
Gmail Labs has just launched a new feature to view multiple panes in the same Gmail window. You can setup your labels or searches as a new pane.
If you have setup multiple email accounts with Gmail, and have associated a label for each of those email accounts, this new pane feature helps you view each of the accounts new emails separately in the new panes. I really like this new feature, very useful.
To use this new feature, you have to first enable Gmail Labs for your account (if not done already), then go to Settings -> GMail Labs and enable “Multiple Inboxes” from the list of Labs options. Now you will get “Multiple Inboxes” menu on the Settings pane. You can create up to five different panes by manually entering the code for label or Gmail search options.Enable Gmail Labs New Features in Your Gmail Account
Gmail Labs have many features being tested. There are many very useful features like signature tweak, mizzle, vacation time, etc.. See the below list of currently available features.
