Google Apps synch to Microsoft Outlook email
Google has synched applications that are available online as services with Outlook email programs, on Tuesday.
Google Applications Sync for Microsoft Outlook would allow the web-based programs by the internet search giant to work with the company’s arch rival and software giant, Microsoft’s email, contacts, and calendars.
This new move from the California based internet giant comes in wake of Google enabling people to use its web-based email service, Gmail, offline and also providing software capable of being operated reciprocally with Blackberry smart phones popular with business users.
At the Google’s official website, Eric Orth, Google’s engineer, wrote, “Over the last year, we’ve had a razor-sharp focus on making it as easy as possible for businesses to deploy Google Applications. Today we’re excited to remove another key barrier to enterprise adoption of Google Apps with Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.”
Google Apps Sync for Outlook is included in Premier online application packages and will be available for $50 per year.
Gmail gives users chance to call erroneous email back
You must have, for once at least, felt like calling back the e-mail you have just sent. Now Gmail gives you this facility to get the email back which you might have sent by mistake.
Google’s Gmail will now give its users a brief window for five seconds to do the reversal. The users can now make use of the new feature, “Undo Send” which will hold the ‘sent’ message for five seconds before actually sending it.
Clicking on “Undo” link will automatically return the message to its draft form. However, this will not allow the users to reverse a message that’s already been sent.
Announcing the new feature at its official blog on Thursday, Google said, “It just holds your message for five seconds so you have a chance to hit the panic button.”
Last year, Google introduced a feature to Gmail designed to prevent users from sending drunken emails. “Mail Goggles” forces users to solve five simple mathematical problems in less than a minute’s time if they are attempting to send a Gmail missive.
Google Apps Under Cloud After Gmail Outage
Google’s much-vaunted cloud computing vision has raised concerns after Gmail, its e-mail service suffered an outage early Tuesday morning and was resolved only several hours later.
Acacio Cruz, Gmail site reliability manager admitted in a blogpost that for several hours after 9:30 GMT, Gmail consumer and business account-holders across the world could not access their e-mail accounts. However a later update at the Gmail status page assured users that the glitch had been repaired and their access to Gmail accounts was restored.
There was however no explanation at the site as to what had caused the outage or exactly how many users across the globe had been affected. Users in the UK and US who had enabled Gmail offline at their offices under the new Gmail Labs feature were able to access their inboxes but could neither send nor receive mail.
This is second time in a month that Gmail users have had problems with the e-mail service from Google. An unrelated trip-up earlier this month had resulted in several Gmail users finding legitimate e-mail sent to their spam folders.
Gmail is an e-mail service from the internet search giant Google and of late it has been pushing hard its cloud-computing vision in which applications are hosted on the Web instead on corporate computers.
Now Gmail breakdown affects users worldwide
The search engine giant, Google Inc. has seen this twice within a month now. If earlier in the month a technical snag banned the users’ access to websites listed in its search, now its users had a tough time accessing their Gmail accounts, on Tuesday.
Google’s email service, Gmail, suffered a technical breakdown for several hours on Tuesday that prevented users around the world from accessing their email accounts with the widely admired e-mail service.
In a statement posted on Google’s Web site by Acacio Cruz, Gmail’s reliability manager, he says, “If you’ve tried to access your Gmail account today, you are probably aware by now that we’re having some problems.” Gmail users “worldwide could not get access to their e-mail,” it said further.
Google later has reported that the problem had been fully resolved and accesses to the users’ accounts have also been restored.
Earlier on February 1, an early morning online panic was triggered by the search engine giant when a technical glitch temporarily prevented users from visiting any websites listed in its search results.
Some Google Users Face Outage for over 24 Hours
An unspecified number of Google’s Gmail and Apps cloud computing users suffered an extended service outage last week, with some saying that their businesses had been negatively impacted.
Last week, an alert appeared at about 2 p.m Pacific Time on Wednesday saying that “a small number of users” were affected by a problem in Gmail access. One and a half hours later another post announced that Google would sort out the problem by 6 p.m Pacific Time on Wednesday.
However according to many users of Gmail and Google Apps, the outage continued over more than twenty-four hours with several of them getting “502 Gateway errors” when they tried to access their accounts. It was especially bad for those Google Apps administrators whose companies had come to depend upon Gmail and Apps to run their businesses. Many among them complained in posts that had they known Gmail would be this unreliable they would have made alternative arrangements.
Some time after 6 p.m Pacific Time, on Thursday, Google announced that the problem had been fixed and that all services and applications were running smoothly as before. However Google did not reveal what had caused the outage or why it had taken the company so long to restore it.
The e-life.
The internet, everyone knows how good it is, and how useful, and how… well… basically, its something of the next big thing after the wheel and fire, isn’t it?
I just realized how true that statement is. The internet has already become as integrated into our lives as the wheel and fire are.
Its odd, but I’m not someone who spends hours chatting to people. In fact, I rarely have conversation except to distract of absolute boredom, or chard plans of action, and its usually the latter. But these holidays, I found myself with access to the internet.
Not sure what to do with a connection, I went through the same paces of downloading music, movies, porn, etc. ran through my profiles on Orkut, Facebook, and the like. Then there was no more to do.
I mean I know the net can be used for a lot more, and I have in the past done so variously, to download articles for college, book tickets and the usual assortment of things, but this was different… I didn’t want to do more.
I just sat there, alternating between gmail, orkut and facebook, hoping someone would have something to say to me. I am not sure who, or about what, but I kept waiting. I’ve signed into gmail at least 6 times a day in the last week, and been disappointed that no one has had anything to say to me.
It is this that I find odd. That suddenly I want people to have things to say to me. I know, its always true, the ego boost of someone wanting to speak to you is pretty big, but now I was disappointed that no one did. I mean its okay to walk down a corridor and no one stop you to chat, but its not okay for no one to have written on my wall, mailed me or in some way tried to get in touch with me.
I thought maybe its because I have so few friends, then I thought, may be its because I have an attitude problem.. then I thought I should change myself, and become more amicable, so that people mail me more.
While I agree that being nicer would be better for anyone, but wanting to change just so people scrap me more? That is a little messed up… which is why I’m writing this.
I live in hostel, which means it’s a literal face book scenario, everyone meets everyone, everyday, but nothing in college has made me want to change myself… yet the net did. It’s the same group of people online that I socialize with offline too.
This sudden urge to be popular scares me, I’m not sure what’s causing it… I’ve never wanted popularity like this before, and I cant understand why its such a driving impulse. I wonder if others feel the same. Judging by the number of hours that people spend online these days, perhaps they do. And that is something else that scares me.
But perhaps when fire was first discovered it too must have been scary, as must have been the sudden need to keep warm. I mean, no one could have felt the need for warmth, until they found they could have it so easy. Or maybe the analogy is not fair, because on the one hand I’m talking about physical comfort, in being warm by a fire, and the other is a psychological one… then again isn’t cold felt, and processed by the brain… may be we could do without ACs too.
