Gmail - Inbox Sorting with Tabs, Date Detection, More

What works for index cards in libraries and browsers on the web could offer swift access to your inbox's contents as well. Try it now in Gmail with its new tabbed layout for the Inbox label (though not others) that offers separate tabs showing the most important messages, social updates, newsletters, transactional emails and mailing lists respectively. You can pick as many tabs as you like and use them to re-classify messages as well.
The tabs (though not necessarily as tabs) also function in Gmail's apps for Android and iOS; the iOS app now also lets you configure notifications by account and limit them to messages on the inbox's primary tab. With the Android app, by the by, you can archive and reply directly from notifications.
Back at the web and desktop, Gmail now recognizes individual dates and times in emails to make setting up Google Calendar events from emails precisely a matter of a few clicks.
›› Gmail is the Google approach to email and chat. Practically unlimited free online storage allows you to collect all your messages, and Gmail's simple but very smart interface lets you find mail precisely and see it in context without effort.

4th of July 1776 - Free Email Stationery Download and E-Card

When Benjamin Franklin likened the bald eagle to a "sharping" person, he compared the bird to a fish.
For "to sharp" seems a variant of "to shark," a word for a swindler who preys on others. It was stuck to the fish when a specimen first turned up in England on one of Sir John Hawkins's ships around the mid-1560s (if the root for the shark's name is not the Mayan xok — pronounced, apparently, something like "shark").
Now, speculative word histories (and Franklin's thoughts about sharping eagles and respectable turkeys) aside, there's some history to celebrate with Benjamin Franklin putting his pen to another document with 55 co-signers:

Have SaneBox Hide Auto-Replies from Your Inbox

The "Drowse electric," introduced in 1959, was Westclox's first snooze alarm clock. Instead, though, of a simple snoozing function — it had two: a switch on top let you choose between being alerted again five minutes later or a full ten minutes of rest added.
With SaneBox, you get two functions, too, for important senders' emails. If their auto-replies can wait for later, you can set up SaneBox to put these to snooze in a folder until you get to them:

Now take the psychrometer and swing it over your head; swing vigorously for about ten minutes!
You have prepared the amazing instrument by dipping a woollen sock in water, of course, and pulled it over one of the identical thermometers mounted at the psychrometer's opposing sides. Ten minutes later, you can read the thermometers. If the temperatures differ, a table shows you the relative humidity: some of the water in the sock has evaporated and cooled the thermometer inside, and the lower the humidity the more water can evaporate.
The wonderful psychrometer has been invented more than 120 years ago and is regularly used to measure the humidity on Mt. Washington in its ingeniously crafty manner, for example. YPOPs! does not make you look quite so interesting, but it, too, can do amazing things — read mail from opposing sides of your Yahoo! Mail account, for example:
