MailNation Solutions developed after years of exhaustive competition in the Emailing industry. Small email companies have come and go, while large email companies such as Gmail (R), Hotmail (R), and Yahoo! Mail (R) have dominated. Privacy policies with major companies are weak, reliability remains questioned, and features are lacking.

20.10.2006Gmail is 5 years old today
It's hard to believe but five years ago Gmail was launched and changed how we view email storage forever. If you recall when Gmail was made
semi-public it shattered the email storage capacity for any available free service. Storage was measured in gigs and you seemingly could store
unlimited amounts of emails. The Gmail launch also started a frenzy of trying to acquire an invite to the service. It was a clever but very
effective technique by Google to give out invites to users who would then get 10 more invites and so on which caused people to start selling them on
Ebay.

06.04.2009Undo send email in Gmail
Many times we forget to add attachments, notice a spelling mistake or forgot to add something in the email. New in Google Labs is an add-on to your
account that can undo the email you just sent, with a limit of five seconds, allowing you to go back and re-edit the email you previously just sent.
Once the add-on is enabled under your Gmail settings, Labs and Undo Send, users will be promoted with an "Undo" button after sending an email,
giving them just enough time to prevent regrettable emails. If users opt to undo the email they had just sent, they will be taken back to the email
where edits can be made.

19.02.2008Whitehouse email offline
Late yesterday it was reported that the email system for the White House was offline and there was no estimated time until it would be back up.
"Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced the technical snafu at his 1:30 p.m. briefing, apologizing to the media for the e-mail silence this
afternoon." It appears that it was a server overload as the new administration was migrating their transition email over to the official White House
email servers. The outage affects both incoming and outgoing emails. The server being knocked offline is probably not a coincidence after the Obama
staff complained that the technology was archaic.

27.01.2009Levono Constant Connect allows BlackBerry email syncing
Lenovo has recently come out with a new technology that allows their ThinkPad laptops to sync emails with BlackBerry phones. Sounds exciting and
innovative, right? Maybe not, but there's something rather unique about this new service; it's still able to operate even if the ThinkPad is
off. The technology works over BlueTooth, as Gizmodo reports, and will be instantaneous. No waiting for the email to push over to the BlackBerry or
vice versa, it'll happen the instant an email arrives. The email that this is based on has to be enterprise based, however.

15.03.2006How to Connect Your Email Address to Your OpenID Account
OpenID is an excellent solution for establishing a single identity for all your online accounts, but many people haven’t even tried it yet. For
some, the concept of using a URL address for a login ID instead of the traditional email address is still completely foreign.
However,
Email to ID could be what the doctor ordered and what these creatures of habits
need. It could also be what OpenID needs in order to expedite wide-spread acceptance as the single sign on identity standard. You can now link your
email address (or several of them) to your OpenID and then use that email address (any of them) to log into any online service that supports it! The
beauty rests in the simplicity of it all. Best of all, it’s all free and easy to do.

01.10.2008Spam accounts for nearly 95 per cent of email
Spam email accounted for between 90 and 95 per cent of all email in 2007, up from an estimated five per cent of email in 2001, according to a report
from web security company Barracuda Networks.
The report, which analysed more than one billion daily email messages sent to more than
50,000 users worldwide, also tracked the increasing complexity of spam techniques over the past several years. 2007 witnessed the majority of spammers
using identity obfuscation techniques, in which spammers send email from diverse sources throughout the internet. Other spamming trends also include
the increased the use of attachments, including as PDF files and other file formats.

07.01.2009Ballmer attacks Google for reading your email
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has attacked Google's business model, claiming that reading customers' email doesn't work.
Ballmer, who was speaking to an audience in the UK, claims making money from email services is very difficult.
"Our Windows
Live Hotmail doesn't generate much ad revenue, so we've had to put a portal around it, because the traffic it brings is very valuable, but it's not
very easily monetised," he claims.
He then launched an attack on Google, claiming its business model of selling advertising
based around the content of email is flawed. "Google's had the same experience, even though it reads your email and we don't."

"Today, these new features

over the next few weeks, so if
you dont immediately see them,
be patient, theyre

Microsoft on Monday made a

chief among those being an
increase in the size of its
inboxes. Standard users now
get 5GB of storage, while paid
MSN Premium and Hotmail Plus
accounts now get 10GB of
storage.
The move follows Yahoo's
decision to offer its mail

Apple also recently upped its
.Mac storage limit to 10GB,

accept and decline meeting
requests from Outlook accounts
as well as a tool for
eliminating duplicate contacts
and an easier way to switch to
Hotmail from another mail
service. ..
