People often in today’s modern world run their entire lives and and businesses via email, so what would happen if you suddenly lost access to your account? what would happen if you no longer had all your receipts or business contacts? It would not be good…. So we are often asked how can I get a backup just in case it gets corrupted or I lose access to my account for some reason. Below are a few of the easiest methods we have found to quickly and securely create a backup of your email.
How Can I Backup My Gmail Account?
Methods.
Gmail Backup – A great free standalone program for windows and mac that will automaticly download and store all your emails in standard EML files meaning you can open them in any email client e.g. outlook or thunderbird. it also stores any attachments.
Download it from http://www.gmail-backup.com/download – It is also open source so you can do mods or integrate it into your own applications if you so wish.
If the download link is down on their main site (as it was for me the other day) you can grab it from here
Mailstore – Another great program that free for personal use, it will down load emails from Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Any POP3 and IMAP mailboxes, Microsoft Outlook XP, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows Mail , Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 mailboxes, Microsoft Office 365 (Exchange Online)
Google’s Gmail email system system prevents all executable file types and some system files from being sent via its servers as a virus protection measure. This is good but also very annoying if like us you often have to send these types of files to customers and other people with in the company. If you try to send an file type that Google does not like Gmail will give you an error message along the lines of “FILE is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file”.
Luckily there is a couple of fairly easy ways to get round it.
How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?
Methods.
Use a free facility such as dropbox to upload your file and then email the direct link to the file so that your friend \ colleague \ customer can easily download it to their device. Another advantage to this is that you are not limited to the size of the file.
Rename the file without an exe extension, Compress it with any compression utility and then attach it. Now it will get attached, and uploaded successfully.The receiver of the email should uncompress the attachment and rename it again with exe extension.

As of the 8th of April 2013 google has introduced a Cookie Law Compliance Banner in-order to comply with a new EU law that became active on 25th of May 2012. This law basically states that all websites in the EU must offer their visitors information on any cookies they use, and provide an option to opt out of having any cookies put on to their machine.
Google has now introduced a nice and simple information banner on all their search results pages – but interestingly they have opted for the “if you don’t want cookies then don’t use our services approach” which considering how much Google is typically used by everyone it might be hard to do.
By clicking on the “OK” button, Google stores a cookie on your machine so the banner will be hidden from you in the future.
