Move or Copy Mail from One Gmail Account to Another
On April 10 and April 17, 2004 — two Saturdays —, 150 people were handed a loyalty card at a car wash. They needed eight more stamps for a free washing. 150 other people were handed another loyalty card at the same car wash. They needed eight more stamps for a free car wash.
From the first group, about every fifth completed the card; from the second group, roughly every third person did.
There was, of course, a difference between the groups: the first 150 people (of whom 19% filled their loyalty card) got a card with eight slots, all needing to be stamped for the free car wash; the second group (34% of whom completed their card) received one that had ten slots — of which two were already stamped ("a special promotion that day").
Now, do you want to see Gmail fill in all the emails from one account in another? Let's give it a tiny head start; it's free:
›› You have a new Gmail account. You also have an old Gmail account. Here's how to move all mail (including sent messages) from the latter to the former effortlessly.
| How to Pick the New Mail Notification Style in Mac OS X Mail
Spoken loudly, words in a list are more easily learned, it seems, than those in the list spoken with a soft voice: in experiments, people rated loud words better learned.
That impression had no impact, though and if I remember correctly, on the same people's recalling the words. Whether a word was spoken with vigor or softly made no difference for remembrance.
In OS X, you can pick how loudly — also figuratively — you want lists of new emails from OS X Mail presented. It should make a difference (whether you want to remember the lot or not):

| How to Open and Access Gmail Contacts
On Luxted Road near Biggin Hill in London's outskirts stood a chair in a house; that, though, was not all it did.
Charles Darwin had, for his study at Down House, added wheels to the chair. The chair rolled, and Darwin sped from, I guess, specimen to specimen to notebook.
Now, in Gmail, you can speed, too, from email, I guess, to email to — your contacts:

| From the Archives: Seashell Hunting Stationery
Seashells live in the ocean, and the ocean lives in seashells. You know how to prove this: hold a shell to your ear, and you can hear the waves rolling in. If you look close enough into a seashell, you may be able to spot some colorful creatures, too.
Granted, you can hear "the ocean" in an empty coffee cup just as well. Since these cups, as far as we know, have not meandered the seas before the tide washed them onto our desks, whatever noise you hear in them must be due to a different phenomenon.
Seashells sound — and look — much better after all:
