Gmail在线接收POP3邮件


很多国内的免费邮箱都提供通过POP3方式在线接收其他邮箱的邮件(如163的邮件克隆,21cn的POP3服务)。Gmail终于也开始进入这个领域了!

对于经常使用Gmail的用户来说,这绝对是个好消息,o一直想把所有的邮件很集中到Gmail中Gmailwhy gmail)。

不过坏消息是,目前并不是所有的GMail帐户都支持从POP3服务器接收邮件(Gmail又要发起新一轮的邀请?)。

有没有已经用上的?反正o还没,加油Gmail!

如果你觉得这个功能对你有用,可以按照Gmail帮助中的方法414。:
  1. Click Settings from the top of any Gmail page.
  2. Click Accounts.
  3. In the Get mail from other accounts section, click Add another mail account.
  4. Enter the full email address of the account you'd like to access, then click Next Step.
  5. Gmail will populate the Username and POP Server fields when possible, based on your email address. Enter your Password.
  6. Decide whether to:

    • Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server. If you'll only be accessing your email through your Gmail account, leave this unchecked. If you'd like to be able to access your mail directly from that account, or if you're accessing it through any other accounts or devices, click to select this option.
    • Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail.
    • Label incoming messages. If you'd like to automatically label all messages that are retrieved from your non-Gmail account, select this option. You can choose to use the predefined label (your email address), or you can select an existing label or create a new one from the drop-down list.
    • Archive incoming messages. Mail from this account can be archived directly, without showing up in your Inbox. Learn more about archiving.

  7. Click Add Account.
  8. Once your account has been added successfully, you'll have the option of setting it as a custom From address. This allows you to compose messages in Gmail, but have them appear to be sent from your other email account (learn more). Click Yes to set up a custom From address.

Google Check 中国 out


很早就想试用一下Google Checkout,近日听闻Google Checkout向美国以外的国家开放,立刻杀奔过去。结果:

你可以在“country”这一栏里看到“HongKong”;“Taiwan”,却唯独没有“China”;“PRC”;“Mainland China”(希望不是o眼花没找到,如果你看到中国请一定通知o),有截图为证。

为什么?难道只因为o们有了“支付宝”就不需要“Checkout”?

Google Online Assessments——作业在线


Google又有新动作。Online Assessments据说是一个可以让学生在线完成论文、测试或者和考官互动的网站。喜欢做家庭作业和布置家庭作业的朋友可以开始关注了。

上图是昨天访问Google Online Assessments的截图,下图是今天访问的截图。虽然都无法正常访问,但可以肯定Googler们正在后台忙活呢。

Google有了很多盒子


刚刚介绍了谷歌新推出了一盒子(onebox)搜索结果。Google又祭出一招“很多盒子”(ManyBox)。

搜索“Tres Jolie Day Spa”你就会发现,第一个搜索结果下有一个“+”号,点开以后就是Tres Jolie Day Spa的地图,not bad!

谁看到过中文的manybox搜索结果?

Google Pack中的新发现——Google Updater


Google Earth是o最先使用的google软件,然后是picasa,然后是google desktop,然后是google talk。一开始,o都是下载单个的软件,然后分别安装。直到前不久发现了Google Pack(后知后觉)

google pack带来的好处不仅在于,你可以将打包下载/安装你认为需要的软件,而且还提供Google Updater功能,一旦安装过的Google软件有了更新,它可以自动下载并提示你对软件进行升级。
