The gmail team has started a behind the scenes video to help them imagine how an email message travels around the world.
I made a very small response with a rather glitchy video. It shows the M-velope being thrown into a filter along with other spam mail. The M-velope then emerges from the filter and moves on. may be i should have taken a print out of the Mvelope and made a real movie!!
Any way this is supposed to show the wonderful spam filtering capacity of Gmail.

Get lucky with google
Gauthampai said "Sometimes, 'we want to feel lucky' in the search result page as well. ;)" and here we are.
The greasymonkey feellucky makes it possible for us to bookmark search results as lucky. If you have made a particular query lucky by clicking on the make lucky link, the next time you put the same query you get lucky.
To install this greasemokey the firefox browser with greasemonkey is needed. To install just click on Install feellucky. The feel lucky script makes use of GM_setvalue and GM_getvalue to store the queries that need to be lucky. So the lucky feeling is limited to the system on which the gresymonkey is installed.
To make it useful for a wider audience, the lucky queries need to be stored on a server.

The worlds largest inbox
Yes it has unlimited storage space.Finally rediffmail came up with a e-mail service that gives you unlimited storage space. I have been using redifmail from the past 7 years.So i can tell with some confidence what i know about Rediffmail.It has both good and bad things. The screen shot shows what you get.But if you hate ads, you may not like it.See the screen shot below.
The new look is better than the older one,it has also features to "mark as read" and "mark as unread".all the feaures in older Redifmail such as creating folders and moving mail to folders is continued. So you dont get to tag ur mail as in gmail. No POP3 access for free users. However you can get it by upgrading to rediffmail plus.
The mail is displayed below the list of mails. So no time lost in moving from the in box to the mail. Gmail can take ages to move from inbox to the mail in my cyrixII system(Its a old system with 64MB RAM).But each good thing has its own set of drawbacks. The spam filter is not as good as gmail. So if you are giving out ur email id on a website, you may get spammed.
Rediffmail shows a large number of advertisements. No google adsense.they use their own ad formats.They do have popups which can be blocked while using firefox.You can see a maximum of 10 mails per page.The search mail feature is not as fast as gmail. If you still feel it is worth having a mail id at rediff go get it for free at rediffmail.
