Gmail Hacks
O'reilly released the second edition of Google Hacks recently and I decided to get it when I saw that chapter six is all about Gmail.
My favorite tip was learning that Gmail supports plus addressing. I tried to get a couple of people excited about this and was met with blank stares. Oh well, I still think it's great.
I also discovered Gmail-lite, a PHP library that lets you access Gmail from any browser, independent of Javascript support. It was pretty easy to set up, although I had to modify the code slightly to work on the server I used for testing. Attachments don't work as well as expected, but if you need access to your account and don't have a current browser, this is the way to go.
Here are some useful Gmail links
Do you know about other cool Gmail tricks or apps that I should check out? If so, drop it in the comments.
I still have a bunch of Gmail invites if anyone needs one or just wants to check it out.
thanks for pointing out the helpful google/gmail links. that books looks like fun. of course, if i ordered it, i'd never get around to reading it.
