Zoho Mail’s version of Gmail’s Undo Send

It is interesting to see, how Zoho counter back on some enhancement Google made on it services.

Recently, when Gmail introduced Undo Send last week, Zoho via sponsor post on Techmeme, introduced similar feature on Zoho Mail, called Outbook, which Zoho claim has been there quite sometime.

It work exactly the same way, except that Zoho Mail allow you to set how long(in minutes) you want the email to stay in outbox temporarily, before it sent to recipients. Google’s Undo Send at the other end, only hold the email for 5 seconds.

Zoho Mail also put an option, to send the email immediately. Head to Zoho Mail’s blog post for more details including how to set this up.

Backup Gmail and Hotmail on the cloud with Zoho Mail

Folks at Zoho has posted an instruction how to backup Gmail on Zoho Mail. The concept is similar to the client based applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Windows Live Mail, where the email downloaded into that particular email client.

In case this is the first time you heard of Zoho, it is an web office suite and collaboration tool, which among other contain Zoho Mail. It is email client that ‘live’ on the cloud. That means the backup emails are kept on the cloud, which theoretically safer rather than keeping it on the local drive.

Although the post specifically mention Gmail, it is actually works for any other email that support POP3, including Hotmail, that has just got their POP3 support recently.

To get started, head to your Zoho Mail and follow this – Setting – Mail Setting – Mail Accounts.

On my testing below, I used back the Hotmail’s POP3 setup.
