How to collect emails for sharing away, in GMail

a.k.a., for forwarding :)

Method 1: Forward under a common subject
  • Define common subject for each email thread (ex., "FYI: Cyber magics").  Optionally assign label "++" to ease locating the mail thread later.
  • Copy and paste into the thread's new reply and review appropriate recipients when send.

Method 2: Use label
Simply forward the email, and then assign label.  Here is recommendation: Tags for FYI & Forwarding.

Transfer contacts from Nokia to iPhone

Googling and found 2 methods: Outlook Express, Yahoo.

So I first synchronized N73 >> Outlook Express >> iTunes.  Then switch within iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo because I used to copied contacts from Outlook to Yahoo in the past: i.e., to consolidate all to Yahoo.

However, just noticed later not all contacts in Yahoo were not synchronized to iTunes!  Spending time last evening

  • Mostly because defective contacts (Yahoo) had too few information.  I tried to assumed that at least there must be [1] first & [2] last names, and [3] phone# of mobile type (many of them were type “Other”).  But however it was no longer true when I fixed records until ‘K’.
  • Until it became failed (no more synchronizing) around ‘K’ and I repeated a few more times, iTunes prompted (due to >25% changing) that there were additional ~300 contacts to be added.  I was no hesitate to accept }:)

 

Still questioning

Had Yahoo data been synchronized properly with Outlook Express when I switched iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo?

Win7 Backup error!?

"Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))"

Searching discussion in Internet, some refer to review HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...
But I think a suggested workaround is quite simple and more effective: create subfolder "Themes" that it want to find.

Feedback to GMail unthread-view option

(Optional) What, if anything, do you find frustrating or unappealing about unthreaded view in Gmail?
Ans: Inbox overflow/flooding. And many of mails are just because users want to *chat* and carelessly accumulate the mail history.

In my opinion: Users who prefer unthreaded view are ones who don't think to learn to handle mails more efficiently. Do they request same in Facebook?

Tagging: singular or plural?

Try renaming some tags to singular form.
- We started learning English from singular before plural.
- Uncountable nount and adjective are singular.
- Each post usually means singular (the post "is a" ...), in spite that we think of plural when find things.

However, it's never perfect. I'm still relunctant with GMail labels such as forums, markets, people talks.
