Sparrow 1.0 - Gmail Condensed, for the Mac OS X Desktop

Sparrow - Email ProgramMake sure you have some sand, dust and dirt in a quiet corner of your garden. That spot will attract sparrows to do their sand bath, and dust is increasingly hard to find for bathing.
Sparrows like to bathe in water, too, of course — or in a emails. Here's a particularly attractive Sparrow, grey head, black throat and all:

How to Back Up or Copy Your Mac OS X Mail Address Book

Closed a tab too soon in Safari? Before you reach for history and search, wait — and press Command-Z to restore the just-closed browser tab.
Before restoring a Mac OS X Mail address book, make sure it is baked up. It takes more than Command and Z — but not much:

Outlook for Mac 2011 - Knows Your Day and to Handle Mail

Outlook for Mac - Email ProgramWhen Jud Spencer posed on the stairs for a snapshot with Guy Kawasaki and their co-founders in the early 1990s, Fog City Software had not yet shipped its email program. It never would.
Instead, Spencer went to California. He had taken the code with him, and the email program was released as Claris Em@iler. When Jud Spencer joined Microsoft, he took the code with him, I guess, and Outlook Express Macintosh Edition was born.
When Outlook for Mac disappeared, Outlook Express Macintosh Edition learned to talk to Exchange and became Entourage. Now, of course, Entourage has made way for Outlook again — which can't synchronize with iCal or iPhone yet but fares reasonably well as an emailer:
›› Outlook for Mac offers all the tools to access, organize, find, filter and send emails efficiently and with the help an integrated calendar, to-do list and advanced address book afford. (Mac)


Pretty Plums - Free IncrediMail Letter Download and E-Card

Pretty Plums - Free IncrediMail Letter Download and E-CardFor a while, you can't see much; but you notice: the smell is different.
In the sun's warmed morning air, the plum blossoms' fragrance has developed differently from what you smelled in the misty cold from which you've just stepped forth. The peak is still far, but the day is young.
Here's what Bashō wrote about a situation like this:
scent of plums
the sun breaks through
mountain path !

Now, the Japanese ume, which blooms right around this time in early spring, differs a bit from the plum; both are delicious, though, and attractive:

How to Send File Attachments with AIM Mail or AOL Mail

On a hot August day in 1859, a muslin bed sheet very slowly swung through the still air, descending toward the dusty road leaving Crawfordsville to the south, for Swankesville, I believe; after the odd parachute, a balloon.
John Wise had been forced to end his balloon ride early, so he decided to make the landing interesting, at least. He attached the mailbag he had been handed in Lafayette (to be delivered to New York) to the sheet and threw it out before descending with the balloon. Poor winds cut his journey short, but Wise's was still the first delivery of mail by hot-air balloon in the United States.
Now, to cut short delivery time of documents and images, you can attach them, with a muslin sheet perhaps, to your ever email's gondola in AIM Mail and AOL Mail:
›› Want to get a PDF to a friend, a spreadsheet to your other email account and a picture to your photo sharing site? Here's how to attach and send documents of all kinds in AIM Mail or AOL Mail.


How to Search Public Google Buzz Messages in Gmail

The longer, the faster: search for more words and characters, and results come up faster, most of the time, with Boyer-Moore search.
Looking for matches, Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore's method starts at the end, with the last character of the search string at the string's length into the text. If you look for "search" and the text does not have an 'h' as its sixth character, there's no point, after all, in also comparing the five characters before.
Now, whatever search strategy it employs, Gmail finds all the public posts you seek — short and long:

You 'n Me - Free Email Stationery Download and E-Card

You 'n Me - Free Email Stationery Download and E-Card"Antiochus stayed here," he scratched on the gladiator barracks in Pompeii some 2100 years ago, "with his Cithera."
Antiochus used manere in the original Latin, which means "to endure", "to remain" or "to spend the night" — but was also used euphemistically, it seems, for an amorous stay. Speaking of amorous inscriptions:

It can happen to i and c, to whole words, and to entire lines even: a dittographic error has you and me, like the medieval scribe, duplicicate text.
There's also dittography that's no error at all, of course. It makes things happen small and large, for instance:

How to Filter Google Buzz Messages in Gmail

Opening Gmail, have you ever wondered why "?shva=1" is added to the address — and what it might mean?
That shwa sound is, it seems, an acronym, short for "should have valid authentication". Now, inside Gmail, wish some Buzz posts would not have been allowed entry to the inbox? Using filters, you can revoke authentication where you see ill fit — or apply labels, for example:
›› Don't care to see all those Google Buzz posts in your Gmail inbox, or want to label certain Buzz messages automatically? Here's how to have Gmail filter new buzz messages automatically.
