You probably have came across messenger clients like Trillian, Digsby that lets you access all your instant messenger clients in one place. Recently another trend shows many applications, online and downloadable integrating Facebook and Twitter accounts or our accounts on other social media websites without us switching madly between each other. Part of this interesting trend led me to another cool application that integrates your Facebook account directly into your Gmail account.

Now you can send large attachment files in gmail upto 25MB because Google has increased the attachment size from 20MB to 25MB. This is good news for the Gmail users, but if you have to send an email to your friend who is having another email account(with smaller attachment limit) other than gmail, then it is likely that the mail will not reach him and it will bounce back. So it is best for gmail users, as till now or better still you could invite your friend to using gmail.

Google Mail is already one of the most feature rich web based email service and Google doesn’t cease to amaze us with yet another cool new upcoming feature. AutoPilot for Gmail is a blessing for bloggers , as we are used to get tonnes of emails from PR companies which we normally reply to most of them but sometimes it really becomes a headache replying to every one of them.

Now here’s something which will interest you. You can send Free SMS from Gmail i.e from Google Talk in Gmail.
Visit the Gmail Labs Page, to activate this new feature and scroll down until you see the appropriate listing.
To send a message, just type a phone number into the search box at the top of the chat window on the left side of the Gmail interface, and hit ‘Send SMS’. Numbers can be associated with contact names so you don’t have to keep manually entering them. Recipients of these messages can respond by simply hitting ‘reply’ on their cell phones to send their own SMS message (Gmail ties a unique phone number with each of your contacts).

Gmail has a really cool feature, Gmail’s custom ‘From:’ feature lets you send messages that display another address. As i also have to deal with day to day emails coming to my website email, its really cumbersome to email from my hosting email application(buggy as hell).
- Log in to your Gmail account at mail.google.com.
- Now head over to the settings and open the Accounts tab.
- Under Send mail as, click Add another email address.

As you would know, due to security reasons Gmail prevents users from sending and receiving executable files (files with the extension “.exe”, “.dll”, “.ocx” or “.bat”). If you try to uploading these files, Gmail will send you an error message: “This is an executable file”. However you may try compressing the files into other formats such as “.zip”, “.tar”, “.tgz”, “.taz”, “.z” or “.gz”. But Gmail is smart enough to know there is an executable inside that compress file.
Now the question is how to send executable files with your Gmail account if you really need to do so? Here’s how its done.
