How to Backup Gmail Mails

Hey Friends here is a new tool to backup your Gmail mails named GMail Backup tool – the ultimate one-click solution for doing backups of your GMail account.

IMAP & Gmail Labs note: If you are using the Gmail Labs, please make sure that you have enabled the IMAP access into the All Mails folder. You can check this in the Settings/Labels page of your Gmail account. Otherwise, Gmail Backup will tell you, that you are using “Unsupported language of Gmail”!

Why should we use Gmail Backup Tool ? The main question in your mind right.

Because once upon a time my Gmail ID was blocked by some miscreants and i lost all my important mails,login details and also domain name,hosting Rapidshare account details etc. Some said why you did not use Microsft Outlook is saves your backup but the thing is i use 3 PC’s a day My Laptop,My Personal PC and My Office PC. But if i use outlook i should stick in one PC . But with Gmail Backup Tool you can take Backup and keep it safely using a storage device and retrieve it for futher use.

And main thing Gmail users should consider using the service’s POP functionality for backup purposes. For those of us that depend on consistent and reliable mail access for business, mail backups are as important as document backups if not more so.

Google Talk’s – Video and Voice service


Earlier in this week google added new feature like voice and video capabilities to its online version of GTalk. Its great becuase we can chat through webcam because most of us use laptop which is inbuilt with webcam.

Steps to install gtalk with video support.

1. Install Video Chat (if you both haven’t already).
2. Restart if needed.

3. Login to GMail.
4. And initiate a Voice/Video Chat, so your friend doesn’t actually have to miss the lecture. They can listen in (and also watch your reactions to the material).

What Video and Voice Mean

Video and voice features bring a whole new element to online communication. We have long had IM to exchange quick messages, but being able to use video makes the experience much more human. Google’s implementation of Google IM and video provides a seamless way of being able to add video to a conversation on-the-fly.

Once engaged in a video call, text is a good way to augment the conversation, say, when you want to swap links or product names.

Main thing is try not to distract each other. But you’re good to go. Also, I believe this is only available for PC users. For windows operating system it works fine but no idea for mac and linux operating system.

( Note: Voice and video in Gmail only works with the newer version of Gmail in supported browsers: FF 2.0+, IE 6.0+, Safari 3.0+, and Google Chrome. )

Since sometimes reading “lol” doesn’t deliver the same punch as actually hearing your friend laugh at your jokes, you can now use voice and video capabilities in your Gmail chat. From within Gmail, you can have an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or even chat face to face over video.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

  • Download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in.
  • Sign in to Gmail.
  • In the Chat section of your Gmail, select the contact you want to call. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more.

If your friend doesn’t have a camera next to their name in your chat list, you can invite them to download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in from the Video & more menu in a chat window. Even if your friend doesn’t have a video camera, you can still make a voice call or a 1-way video call.
