Syphir gives you more Gmail filtering options

by TJ Luoma (Jul 16th, 2010)

Syphir first attracted my attention when they announced that they were using OAuth for Gmail (meaning that you did not have to provide your login information to Syphir in order to use it).

Full text searches on the iPhone? There WAS an app for that.

by David Winograd (Feb 25th, 2010)

Sometimes you can't win for losing. A few weeks ago, I was talking to fellow blogger and all-around genius Brett Terpstra about how I wished there was a full-text search for iPhone mail. He told me that there was, and it was called reMail. I immediately downloaded the free app, paid the US $3.99 for ...

Google Email Uploader for Mac available now

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Feb 1st, 2010)

The Gmail of a few years ago was quite primitive in comparison to the current incarnation. Still, threading and a nearly-bottomless cup of storage space made it appealing despite early privacy fears. I use Gmail extensively nowadays, complete with a bunch of tweaks, add-ons and lab components. ...

If you use Gmail, you have something to be excited about today, because you can finally have new email messages pushed directly to your iPhone when they arrive. For many users, however, their first response is "it's about time!" and others have even gone as far as saying "it's finally here, no ...
