I notice that people sometimes send emails with their vcards attached. How are they doing this, and is there any way to do it on gmail?
Thanks SOCommunity!
This site will help you create a file - you just attach that to your email.
For corporate mail, this Exchange signatures software can do it for all users.

For Personal knowledge management (PKM), it would be useful to be able to get a link that opens a specific email (opening in the application MAIL, more precisely). I believe this is possible for online-based email systems like gmail. Would this be possible for desktop-based applications, like MAIL (Mac)? This would facilitate a lot PKM workflows. Thanks in advance!
We send out email newsletters and automated confirmation emails to users of our websites. Each email has an unsubscribe link in the email footer and each recipient opted in to receive emails.
Outlook webmail has the unsubscribe link above the body of the email in the following form:
Getting too much email from #SENDER#? You can unsubscribe
Clicking on the link opens a dialog window with following content:
Block this sender
[SENDER] hasn't given us any information to help you unsubscribe, so we'll block everything sent from the following sender: [EMAIL_ADDRESS]
[×] Also delete everything from [SENDER] in my Inbox folder
I search the internet and even contacted the Outlook support and asked them what info they need from us to help recepients unsubscribe from our emails. After several email exchanges the Outlook support concluded that they have no idea how to change Outlook's unsubscribe link, what information we should give them and how we should give them the information.
Can anyone please advise or point me to the right direction please? Thanks.
Is it "List-Unsubscribe" MIME header? http://www.list-unsubscribe.com/
You're confusing a couple of things here. First, while outlook.com is a Microsoft domain, Outlook itself is an entirely different thing, and people can be using Outlook as their mail program regardless of what domain they have. You won't know what client people are using for email, or what server they use to access it. Second, you say that email communication is vital for your websites. Banning people from your newsletters doesn't help that situation in the least. People using the various Microsoft services that you mention have no trouble receiving and participating in those email communications. What you don't touch on, is what software you're using for your newsletters. THAT is where your problem probably is. If you go to that domain.com/unsubscribe URL, what does that page do/look like? There are 2 usual links for a List-Unsubscribe header. One is a mailto: link such as unsub-list-12345#domain.com, where any email to that address performs an unsubscription. For the web link version, it needs to be a link to a page that automatically unsubscribes the user (so the link would need to be customized with variables such as the mailing list).
We use Thunderbird as our email client in the office and use IMAP (through Google Apps). But it takes some time to sync folders and emails because we have created more than 300 folders according to shipments and customer names. Further we need to keep increase folders in the future as well.
So can you please tell me a good way or an email client to handle these emails ?. We have configured this email account in to about 8 PCs. Thank you in advance.
300 folders and "1000+" e-mails is nothing. I'm behind Trojitá, a fast Qt IMAP e-mail client, so this is what I recommend, but any decent software shall work just fine for you anyway.
That said, this is probably OT for stackoverflow.
I have set up several email accounts on my vps hosting but I can't receive any emails that are send via php from another hosting. Everything works fine when I send emails from gmail for example, I receive them without a trouble. Does anyone know any reason why emails sent from php can't be received?
Try using phpmailer, it's a good mailing class which automatically sets well defined headers so that the mail is more likely to not land in the spam folder.
Sounds like a spam filter issue. Have you set up a proper Sender ID/SPF framework in your domain name service so that the host appears to be a valid MTA for this domain? Look here for a detailed explanation of Sender ID/SPF/DKIM, etc.
Check your spam folder.
GMail is able to differenciate if a mail has been sent from outlook for example or an automated application. (I dont know how, but they can). If i send an email from my work account to GMAil works, if its a web app or executable with the same email adress, it ends up on the spam folder.
Bizarrely, I have been using an email account to store recipes.
I want to export all the messages to an XML format or similar, which I would be able to easily reproduce on a Wordpress blog or similar. Or simply print out all the recipes, but with some formatting put in place.
Gmail offers an RSS feed for labels, and exporting to external email client and I also found something called backup goo which allows me to export all the mails as files .eml in MIME format.
Anyone shed any light on working with this kind of stuff. Essentially, this may seem like a really frivously problem, but in fact it's a problem of me not being able to access this kind of personal data which I should be able to move elsewhere and represent to myself easily.
You can forward your emails to Thunderbird and use ImportExport tools addons to export all your emails as :
html.
csv.
xls.
mbox.
plain text.
Is Gmail the only option, you can use? The default setting for Gmail is to use IMAP protocol for exchanging e-mail. This means, all your e-mails (receipes) are still on GMail server. I would suggest using a different program (mail client) that offers more export options than Gmail.
I can connect to my Gmail account with Mozilla Thunderbird (using standard credentials, like IMAP server address, port, login, password) and browse all the messages from there. And, because this is IMAP, they're synced, not downloaded, so I have exact copy in both Gmail and Thunderbird. I don't remember Thunderbird (haven't been using it for ages! :), but I'm pretty sure that you'll find more export option in there or in any of their plugins, than you would find in Gmail.
