How to Turn Off Two-Step Authentication for Outlook.com in a Specific Browser

The earth slows down—as, of course, do most things on it left on their own. (The moon keeps pulling on the earth, schlepping water around it, raising mountains and valleys, and putting a constant gentle break on the earth's rotation.)
How about speeding up something, too—like logging into Outlook.com in a browser to which only you have access (mountain high or valley low)?
›› Make signing in to Outlook.com easier on the computers and devices to which only you have access by authenticating with two steps just once. In the future, a password will be enough. You can, of course, revoke easy access—if a device gets lost, for instance.


Lone Winter Bighorn – Free Email Stationery Download and E-Card

Bighorn sheep can come in groups numbering eight dozens when it is winter and they are female. Here, it is winter and the bighorn sheep is—male. So, we get to see a single exemplar's exemplarily majestic and big horns:
›› Put a majestic bighorn sheep in the back of your emails. (Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express)


How to Send a File Attachment from Dropbox in Zoho Mail

A floppy disc on the turntable works only with a normal record beneath to lend it strength.
Bendable almost like paper, a phonosheet or "flexi-disc" usually came between a magazine's pages—as a musical attachment. National Geographic magazine customarily included spoken word or animal sounds, too.
Now, whether you want to send sound, word or music, a flexi-disc is one option; having Zoho Mail pick up a file from your Dropbox for sending as an email attachment is another:
›› Instead of downloading files from Dropbox and uploading them to Zoho Mail as email attachments, have Zoho Mail pick up the documents directly from your Dropbox (and still send them as conventionally attached files).


Type International Accented Letters in iOS Mail (From the Archives)

In Lithuanian, the háček is also known as paukščiukas: small bird. When the little bird lands on your iPhone, you can not only ček mail efficiently with its help but tap "háček", too:
›› Tap words like "Champs Élysées" with style and correct accents in iPhone Mail.

Here's to a choice week!

How to Choose the Tabs Shown in Your Gmail Inbox

A fox in summer eats berries and fruit (as long as they are easy to reach).
In Gmail, you can make sure the most delicious emails are within the easiest of reaches (and sorted into food groups, too, if you like):
›› Have certain messages—social updates, offers or emails from mailing lists—broken out of your primary inbox automatically. Here's how to pick the inbox tabs you want Gmail to show and populate (without your having to set up filters).


How to Address Messages with Nicknames in Yahoo! Mail

If "eke" means "to increase", make longer and add, what does "eke name" mean? A longer name? Increase name? An added name?
It is the latter, and—when "eke" had fallen mostly out of favor and become ill recognized on its own (outside "eke out")—"an eke name" became the equally obscure but slightly more regular-seeming "a neke name". Obscurity to be reduced, that turned into "a nickname".
Now, that looks familiar, and Yahoo! Mail is familiar with nicknames, too, which you have assigned:
›› Just call me Fred in Yahoo! Mail, and address your emails to me quickly using this nickname.


How to Save an Attached File to Dropbox from Zoho Mail

The rice was thrown away before the fish was eaten.
Sushi, it is told, began as a means of storing and preserving fish with the help of starchy rice (which, alas, became inedible through the process and time).
Want to preserve and store an attached file easily and with near-ubiquitous access? Zoho Mail can save them to your Dropbox. (You can throw away the email, of course.)
›› Instead of downloading attachments and uploading them to Dropbox, have Zoho Mail save them to your Dropbox directly.


Change or Reverse the Mail Sorting Order in Mac OS X Mail (From the Archives)
Bous, the ox, what does he do with his plow at the field's end? Does he schlepp the tool back to the other side, working the soil only in one direction?
Of course not. Bous, the ox, plows on the way back, too. He covers the field turning (strophein in Greek) like — like an ox plowing a field: boustrophedon style.
The Ancient Greeks not only invented the term; they sometimes wrote in boustrophedon fashion, too, reversing the writing direction with every line.
You cannot, as far as I see, easily make Mac OS X Mail write folder listings boustrophedonically. You can, however, make other changes to read and find mail more economically — easily:
›› Want the most recent emails on top or sort by message size? Here's how to change a folder's sort order in Mac OS X Mail.
