Ways to Transfer Emails from One Gmail account to Another

                                                      

If you have two Gmail accounts then you would not want to open each one to check mails in different browsers, so let's check out the three different ways with which you can transfer mails between the two Gmail accounts easily and effortlessly.
1. Setup a Filter for Forwarding all mails

• Setting up a filter for forwarding your mails is the simplest of all, for setting up the filter, all you will need to do is set up the filter which basically forwards all the incoming mails in your old Gmail account to the new Gmail account. If you use this problem then you also might have to live with the problem that you will have to keep your old Gmail account active simultaneously with the new one and also if you have joined some mailing lists and if your new account is not a part of that then you need to check your old Gmail account periodically.

                                                               
• You can also auto forward all your mails from your old Gmail account to the new Gmail account which you can set through the settings and also after applying this setting, you need not check the old Gmail account as you will receive all the mails automatically.

2. Make use of POP feature for Downloading and Transferring Mails
With a great feature called POP in the Gmail settings, you now has the power to download all the mails from one account to the another account. For doing this, you just need to follow the below steps.

                                                                        
First, you need to open your Old Gmail account and need to follow the below mentioned steps:

• Open the Settings, which is located on the top right corner of the Gmail and then choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP option from the Gmail Settings.
• Now, out of the three options in this section, in the second option enable the POP first for all you mails which is there in the POP Download section and then save your settings.

Now, open your new Gmail account follow the below mentioned steps:

• Go to the Accounts and Import option in Gmail Settings.
• Click on Add POP3 email account button from the Check mail using POP3 section.
• Fill up your old account information in the pop-up. Choose all defaults fields except POP server to pop.gmail.com and save your settings.

In this method, mails will not be transferred at once and it may take few hours if your inbox has many mails. The only thing which will not be transferred is the Gmail's chat history which will not be transferred.
3. Migrate Completely to the new Gmail with your Labels
You can migrate all your mails completely to your new Gmail account but the problem in doing so is you will end up having a new unorganized mailbox. To, avoid this what you can do is to just remove all multi labeled messages and club into one for now, like use a single label and then using a desktop client you can drag and drop mails between folders of your choice.

10 Top Tips for Using Email

Email is a very powerful tool which can be equally frustrating. Sadly many people don't make the effort to ensure they are being helpful and responsible email users. 90% of the world's email problems would evaporate if everyone followed these ten tips.

---

1. Make sure the recipient is either expecting the email or won't mind receiving it.
    
2. Make sure your email software is set up to display your return name and email address correctly. Use a meaningful name for yourself, e.g. "Brian Kirk" or "Superclean Domestic Services". Do not use non-specific names or names which won't mean anything to some people, e.g. "Grandma" or "The Gang".
    
3. Always Include a subject line and make sure it tells the recipient what the email is about, e.g. "This months sales results" or "Plans for the weekend".
    
4. Be very clear and specific in your email (without being too waffly). Tell the person who you are and why you are contacting them. Don't just send an attachment and hope they will figure it out for themselves.
    
5. Only send attachments if they are necessary, e.g. don't use a MS Word document to send text which could have been typed into the email instead.
    
6. If including attachments, make sure the recipient will have the appropriate software to open it (not all attachments will work on someone else's computer). Check the file size and make sure it's not too big. Click here for more info about attachments.
   When sending photos or other images, optimise the file size first. Don't send photos from the default scanner or digital camera settings. Click here for more info about image files.
    
7. Resist the temptation to use pretty stationery or unnecessary graphics. They annoy a lot of people and some email programs have trouble displaying them.
    
8. Never reply to spam.
    
9. Be very careful and restrained about forwarding jokes and other similar material. Most people receive too much of it already. Never forward chain emails.
    
10. And finally, make sure you use reliable anti-virus software and update it every day. If you don't, then you are as much to blame for the spread of viruses as anyone. This point is not negotiable - if you are connected to the internet, you must be protected or you are a danger to everyone else.

Speed Up your Computer using Striped Volumes

Speed Up your Computer using  Striped Volumes

---

If you are looking for a way to speed up your computers read and write speed and you like taking chances, then Striped Volumes are the way to go. A striped volume uses the free space on more than one physical hard disk to create a bigger volume. Unlike a spanned volume, a striped volume writes across all volumes in the stripe in small blocks, distributing the load across the disks in the volume. How does it work ?   A striped volume will for the most part speed up your computer. This is because reads and writes happen across multiple disks simultaneously. Another name for this is RAID 0 (zero) which in truth isn't real RAID, but gives you some of the same functionality – SPEED.       No Fault Tolerance   However, the additional speed also means there is an increased risk of catastrophic failure leading to severe data loss. The simple explanation is that we place the available space in an array. If ONE of the disks fail, the array breaks, and the data residing on that disk, will be unavailable or lost. The Zero (Raid 0) therefore stand for Zero Backup and Zero Mirroring. Which is why regular backups are essential. Also, the portions of disk used to create the volume need to be the same size; the size of the smallest free space included in the array will decide how much available space you can use. For example, if a 120 GB disk is striped together with a 100 GB disk, the size of the array will be 200 GB (100 + 100). So if the above sounds good, then… Before you go ahead, make sure to back up any data on your hard disks. Converting a Volume Striped Volumes require that you have Dynamic Volumes. You can choose to do so before you start or letting the Striped Volume Wizard do it for you. To convert a volume from a Basic Volume to a Dynamic one you have to delete the volume first. Right Click Volume to convert, Choose DELETE Right Click the unallocated volume and choose CONVERT TO DYNAMIC Repeat steps for all disks you want to convert. Setting up the Striped Volume Open the Disk Management console. Right-click the unallocated space to include in the striped volume and click New Striped Volume. Follow the on-screen instructions. On the Select Disks page, select from the available disks and add them to the list. Set the amount of space to use on the disks and click Next. Assign a drive-letter or choose the default setting, Click Next. (You can also mount the volume on an empty NTFS folder on an existing volume) On the Format Volume page, choose the formatting options for the new volume. Windows Vista and Windows 7 does only support NTFS formatting. Click Next. Click Finish  to create the volume (If the disks are basic disks, you'll be warned that this operation will convert them to dynamic disks).

10 Top Tips to Save Space on Your Hard Drive (HDD)

With multi-terabyte drives gaining prevalence in the bays of our PCs, a lack of hard drive space is less of an issue these days; however, it seems no matter how big the drives get, we still manage to eventually fill them. In this guide, you’ll learn ten top tips to save space on your hard drive.

1. Uninstall Unneccessary Software Programs

Although it’s an obvious tip to start with, some serious space can be saved by uninstalling unneccessary applications. You have three options:

1. Scan the list of installed programs manually (Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and click Add/Remove programs — Uninstall a program.)
2. Use Revo Uninstaller to completely remove software and its traces.
3. Use the PC Decrapifier to remove typical “bloatware” applications from your PC (works best with new brand-name PCs.)

Not sure what to uninstall? Ask in the forums.
2. Search for Duplicate Files

Over time, you may accumulate duplicate files on your PC. Use a program like Easy Duplicate Finder to locate and remove these files.
3. Clear up old System Restore Points

System restore points are very useful but can take a lot of space on your drive. If you want to save space in a pinch, read this guide and learn how to remove all but the last system restore point.
4. Turn of Memory Dump Files

If you maintain your own PC, and don’t need to take it to a store when something goes wrong, you can turn off memory dump files. If you have system problems and need to analyze dump files, you can always turn them back on again.
5. Change Personal Folder Locations

All recent versions of Windows utilize the (My) Documents file structure. This means that all your personal files are:

* Saved on your operating system’s drive and can be lost if your PC is infected with malware.
* Taking up space on your operating system’s drive and can fill it quickly.

You can change the location of your personal files in (my) documents to a different drive (or partition of a drive); due to the issues listed above, this is something I highly recommend.
6. Backup Files Remotely or on Alternative Storage Media

I highly recommend you back up your files on an automated schedule. I also recommend you back up files that are used less on alternative storage media (Optical media, external hard drives, off site servers etc.) I recommend any of the following programs:

* Mozy Online Backup
* GFI Backup
* EASEUS Todo Backup
* Ashampoo Burning Studio

7. Use the Disk Clean Up Tool

The disk cleanup tool that comes with Windows is a useful tool that searches for junk files, unused installation files, temporary files etc. To get to the Disk Clean up tool:

1. Go to Computer.
2. Right click and drive and click Properties.
3. Click the Disk Cleanup button.
4. Select what you want to clean up and click OK.

If you’d like to add a handy “Clean Disk” shortcut to the context menu of the disk drive, follow this guide.
8. Use NTFS Compression to Compress a Complete Drive/Partition

NTFS is the name of a file system used in Microsoft Windows and is, for now, the standard file system for modern drives. Microsoft has a tool that compresses less used files on an entire drive.

If you want to compress a whole drive (and potentially save a lot of space), follow this guide.

Note: I don’t recommend you compress the drive (usually C:\) on which your operating system is stored.

Note 2: To find out the file system of your drive:

1. Go to Computer.
2. Right click and drive and click Properties.
3. Look for NTFS next to the File system label.

9. Compress (Zip) Less-frequently Used Files

You can compress files on a file-by-file (or folder-by-folder basis.) If you’re looking for a good compression program, check this Winzip alternatives post.

Note: some files compress better than others. For example: an MP3 or JPEG file is already highly compressed and wont reduce, in size, much (if at all) when zipped.
10. Take your Time During Program Installation

When you install software, take time to see exactly what you’re installing. A lot of the time, you can save a ton of space by selectively installing only the components you’ll need.

For example, when installing Microsoft Office, you can Customize your installation:

Now you have the option to only install the programs you really need (you can always install the other programs later.)
