Google has a great built in service to transfer your email to a new Gmail account, but it only works with Gmail. If you're taking your email somewhere else, tech blog Digital Inspiration created a script to make the transfer process easy. Digital Inspiration uses a Google Script to accomplish the task. When it runs, it forwards all your email from your current Gmail account to your new address. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing. Head over to Digital Inspiration for the full guide.Transfer your Gmail Messages to Another Email Address | Digital Inspiration
You probably don't need to migrate your email accounts very often, but every once in a while, a good reason might come up. In that case, YippieMove is here to help.The service automatically transfers all of your old emails—attachments and all—to a new account. This can be particularly handy, for example, if you have an old Yahoo! account you don't use anymore that you'd like to make a backup of in case your address is ever reset and given away. We've previously covered Backupify Migrator for getting data out of a Gmail account, but YippieMove allows you to transfer between any combination of a long list of email providers, so most people should be covered.YippieMove
Digging into the vault of never fully documented projects, I found this and decided to make an Instructable on it. Doing this mostly by memory, I might have missed some things. Let me know if you see any errors. This is a project that displays how many unread email messages you have. It also displays the temperature. It wirelessly transmits your unread message count to a small acrylic cube. There is a piezo transducer on the lid of the box that allows you to switch between temperature and email by tapping on the lid. If you could vote for me in the epilog and battery powered contests (when my entry is accepted), that would be great! The transmitter is basically a FT232RL USB to UART bridge and the RCT-418-AS transmitter. The UART signal from the FT232 must be inverted before going to the transmitter because the UART "no data" state is high. If a high signal were going to the transmitter constantly, it would violate FCC rules because the RCT-418 would be transmitting constantly. This circuit is powered directly off the USB port of your computer. For correct VSWR the antenna MUST be 17cm. This is a 1/4 wavelength antenna for 418MHz.
SquadMail, dubbed the "Dropbox of email," syncs and shares email folders between different users. The service now has a cool new feature for both individuals and groups: automatic saving of email attachments to Dropbox.SquadMail's Dropbox saving feature works just like its core email syncing service. After setting up a new folder on the SquadMail site and choosing to sync it with Dropbox, SquadMail creates a new label for your email account (Gmail or other IMAP email) with the name of that folder. Then, to have attachments for emails saved to Dropbox, all you have to do is tag emails with that label. With filtering, you can automate saving attachments to Dropbox. So, for example, you can create a filter for friends and family with the "has:attachment" option in Gmail and always tag it with your Dropbox folder label. Voila, all the photos and other docs from them are automatically saved there. You can also forward emails to the SquadMail-provided email address for that folder. I found this to work immediately, whereas the label method can take a few minutes for the sync to happen. Finally, as before, anyone you share that SquadMail folder with will also have that folder and any messages in it in his/her email account.The Dropbox feature is in private beta right now, but the first 5,000 Lifehacker readers can try it out today using the link below.SquadMail
