Yahoo advertise Yahoo Mail in Gmail

Google has nothing to fear even to have its nearest rival in web mail to advertise their email service right on its Gmail as shown on the below. Gmail still fresh from being the no. 1 web-mail in India, which is previously Yahoo Mail strong hold for very long time.

Being dominant in online advertising, Google is open for anyone to advertise their own service

On the other side, Yahoo is taking the bold move to have this advertisement, considering that, Gmail users are most likely use Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, including myself before. Yahoo Mail has received numerous enhancement over the year, including introducing AJAX based interface, open application and become even more social-like website, with hope to gain back the market share it is losing so far.

Google reminder to enter correct secondary email

gmail reset Google reminder to enter correct secondary email

If you open your Gmail today, there is chance that you’ll seeing this notification to update your secondary email address for the purpose of password recovery/reset on top of your mailbox screen.

This is the first time I notice this notification appear there, and probably part of Google effort to remind users, to enter correct secondary email for password recovery purpose of your Google account in case of any incidents that leads you to miss/forgotten the password.

This recovery process included using text message/SMS announced recently. It still not available here in Malaysia though, where email is the only method to reset the password.

If you click on ‘Update this address’, it will bring you to another screen below, where you can verify your email and enter you mobile number. Once yo update, the notification no longer showing up there.

Do you notice this??

Gmail provide unsubscribe links from any newsletters

Gmail add new feature to simplify the process of unsubscribing newsletter or mailing list from within Gmail. By now, after you click on ‘show details’, you’ll notice new ‘unsubscribe from this sender’ link available.

According to the Gmail blog post, clicking the link will automatically send a request back to the sender so they’ll stop emailing you.

This unsubsribe option is not visible for email from suspected spammers (after all they’re spammers right??)

Gmail said this is not working for all senders at the moment. In my observation of emails that have the unsubscribe link and those that not.

Email from sender with Gmail unsubscribe links

  • Google Alerts
  • Subscibed comments

  • RSS subsribed post
  • Getrepond
