In my last post, I took a stance against inbox zero . The truth is, I want into the club, but I will never make it. I just don’t have the time or energy to make email such a big focus in my day. But that doesn’t mean I’m destined to a life of email abuse. In fact, there are a number of other ways to manage email. Here are some...

Over the last few months, Google has been busy optimizing its free Gmail service for mobile phones.

Google has announced OAuth support for Gmail . The new features means that third-party applications can now access your Gmail account without needing your username and password.
