How To Forward All Mail In Gmail Without A Filter

Here's how you do it: You download it with POP3 to the other gmail account.

In the account that needs all of it's mail forwarded, select this option under POP3/IMAP:

1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since xx/x/xx
(x) Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)

In the account where you want the mail forwarded to, just download all your emails! Use you Google Account username for the username (without the @gmail.com domain), enter your password, and choose port 995, smtp server smtp.gmail.com amd Use SSL. Don't select "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server" as gmail doesn't support it, and will give you an error.

There are other similar articles around the net but none have this solution.

I'm still waiting to be 100% sure it works as my account still says "checking mail" but it doesn't show anything yet in my new account.

Update as of May 20, 2009: It downloaded all the email from the old Google-Mail account but sent them all to spam. But hey, it worked! Now the last thing is export my contacts and import them into the new one.

Don't Use Yahoo! Web Services

Here's why: they are shutting down the Yahoo! Briefcase. If you're going to shut down a web service, why start it in the first place? Okay, I digress, Google shut down The Google SOAP Web Service, which a lot of SEO's and spammers liked very much. Although, to Google's credit, they closed it down to signups for new API keys, and to this day continue running the service for existing keys. Remember when Yahoo! shut down it's music store and took its DRM server with it? Although they rethought their actions and gave customers refunds, just the idea that they would consider shutting it down so quickly is scary. From a consumer/user standpoint it makes me trust them that much less. Make some good decisions for once Yang! Yahoo! is the Microsoft of the Internet Age. Why? Because everyone uses Yahoo! for no good reason other than they were there first.

Login To Multiple Gmail's/Blogger/Google Services With Chrome

Have you ever wanted to open multiple gmail accounts or use other Google services all at the same time for testing purposes? In the old days there was CookiePie for firefox (which never really worked with Gmail). Just use Google Chrome's Incognito mode by pressing Ctrl-Shift-N. That is it! Your original (aka non-incognito, non-InPrivate, non-Private-Browsing) windows will continue logged in as normal when the Incongito windows are closed. It seems that each Incognito window shares cookies between that windows tabs, but not among any other windows, Incognito or not. Make sense? You can open as many different copies as you want up to your amount of memory, since nothing is ever written to disk, but rather is stored in memory.

This should also work with any other service that doesn't tie logins to IP addresses, but to cookies like Facebook, Mypsace, etc.... I don't really know if it works with IE8's In-Private browsing because I'm allergic to Microsoft software, and use it only when forced to.

Be careful composing in Blogger or using another service though, as nothing is cached at all. If you go back a post that wasn't saved as a draft will be gone.

Update (April 23, 2009): It seems that you can only login to two Google accounts at a time, one in an incognito window, and one in the regular window. Also it seems that playing Windows Media Player videos in Incognito mode leaves traces in Internet Explorer!

Google Personalization (Eg. The pws parameter)

Compare this:


with this:


I thought it was curious that of this obvious craigslist spam, Google showed me only the result from Atlanta, which is a word I've been searching for a lot lately, eg atlanta jobs, employment, etc.... Is this a secret? No. But it's another piece of the puzzle. Btw, hittail is still the easiest way to SEO your site!

Google Gears and Myspace: Cool

Free Laptop Factory Service/Repair/Maintenance Manuals

I've created a new custom google search engine here, which limits searches to only sites which have free service manuals to download for common Laptops, such as eserviceinfo.com and sonyrecovery.co.uk. As an example, here is a search for Acer 1300.

If anyone knows the URL's to electronics manufacturers internal, partner-only, or ASP (authorized service provider) support portals (and hopefully passwords too ;-) such as csd.acer.com.tw please leave a comment below, email me, or give me a phone call.

Also, if you need your computer, laptop, printer, or cell phone repaired, or home or business computer networking, data recovery, and you're in the New Orleans area I am available for business. My contact information is below.





Here's an RSS feed that may interest you ;-)

MSN/Live/.Nyet Web Messenger Sucks!

I just tried logging in to the MSN Webmessenger and I get this lovely message:

We can't sign any more people in right now. Please try signing in again later.

Perhaps Microsoft should consider using Google App Engine.

Custom Google Search Engine For AntiSpyware

I've been working as a PC technician, and to make it easier to identify what Windows processes are legitimate and which ones are bad, and I've created a custom google search engine which currently searches four Microsoft Windows process information sites, file.net, bleepingcomputer.com, neuber.com, and auditmypc.com. Of course, just this alone won't fix everything, but I find this to be kind of useful. If you find another site that offers real information, please leave a comment below.

Another search engine I've created with Google CSE is one that searches anti-scam sites such as ripoffreport etc....

Google's Query Deserves Freshness Knob Tweaking

It looks like the query deserves freshness knob has been tweaked a little too far. A query for details in El Google shows the USGS data for the recent quake in Sichuan, China as the second result. The only curious thing I can see in the code is that the details link is the first link after the first H1 and H2 HTML tags.
