Sure, you can set your iPhone to chime when you get new mail. But if you get a lot of mail, like I do, it's not very helpful. What you really want is a notification when you get important mail from important people. So that's just what I created, using a few Gmail filters and an iPhone app called Boxcar.
Despite the FTC's "tough" settlement with Google over privacy violations last year, companies will continue to mine and abuse user information for profit.
Nervous about privacy? Keep biting your fingernails, because the government is using the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act to demand carriers supply information without the bother of a warrant.
Multiple account log-ins and vacation-message creation have been added to the mobile version of Gmail, Google's email program, for Android and iOS devices. The changes were rolled out yesterday and are available today.
Google's share of the enterprise email market currently "hovers" at around 1%, but it will reach 10% within a few years, research firm Gartner predicts.

About a month ago I received an email from Blizzard Entertainment stating that a new World of Warcraft account had been started using my personal Gmail address. Someone with the user name of "Zhang" was hoping to do a little night elf adventuring using my data.

Just one problem: she has something like 75,000 messages in this account, and Live Mail insisted on downloading them all. Needless to say, the program choked on that much mail; it was barely operable.
In an attempt to get away from paying for high-priced email administrators, the city of Pittsburgh is looking to save money and move to the cutting edge with a migration to Google Apps.
Google’s popular Gmail service provides free email accounts with plentiful storage, fast searching, and access from any Web browser. But keeping all your correspondence in Google’s cloud is risky. Here are 2 ways to back up the contents of your Gmail account.
Google's announcement that hackers had gone after the Gmail accounts of senior U.S. officials raises a question: What are government officials doing using Gmail?
