Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, Webmail? You can now import to Gmail.

Category : Web/Tech, Work, Life, etc.

Have you been trying to get rid of your crutch to Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL and start using Gmail. The only thing that was stopping you was the painful process of losing all your old email, well, now you can import your mail from those other services to Gmail.

New accounts will see a feature in their settings that will allow them to import their mail easily, just a few checkboxes and clicks and your contacts, old mail and even new mail for the next 30 days will come into your shiny new Gmail account.

This is a good option for users who have been wanting to make the switch, but still relied on their old accounts, and this will be available for existing users, but according to Gmail’s team, this roll-out will be slower than normal.

For the official word read the article on the Official Gmail Blog.

New Gmail Labs Feature

Category : Web/Tech

Gmail has added a new feature to the labs section called suggest more recipients. This feature will suggest more people you might want to include based on the groups of people you email most often. As usual, to turn on this or any of the labs features, head to your Gmail account and go to the labs setting.
