Advanced Controls for IMAP in Gmail

Three days after prevention of sending emails with a high degree of drunkenness, Gmail now added another feature in its Labs: advanced controls for IMAP. First, we must synchronize IMAP by any label, for example I have disabled the label SPAM (anyone who has used IMAP knows that it is the fastest growing, and I do not want to waste time synchronized). To change the settings, are on the tags of the Settings tab of Gmail.


On the other hand, in the Settings tab, IMAP, we can change the behavior of the deleted messages that resembles a traditional customers. In a normal customer, we say that when you delete a message, what it does is go to the trash, and will not be erased until purged the trash. In Gmail, it simply removes the current label: University if the message remains but without that label, and if you are simply received in the archive. Finally, you can also indicate what they want to do when you delete a message all their Labels: file, take it to the trash or automatically delete it.


Gmail Labs of what is going to record: is there a mail system that launches new features every week? The closest thing are the Firefox extensions, but I can not remember another web service that allows such freedom of movement to its developers?


NOTE: Gmail Labs remains inaccessible from the Spanish version, but if we change momentarily to the American version and activate the extra features we want to go back to the Spanish still there.

Well, nothing more and nothing less than the purchase of Omnisio, one of the existing platforms that allow us to fix our comments on specific points of the videos, create our own compilations by joining a series of clips, and also synchronization with PowerPoint presentations, as we have already discussed months ago. In addition, indicating that Omnisio makes use of videos hosted on the platforms of YouTube, Google Video and Blip.tv.


At the moment we do not know details of the operation, but as they say in Techcrunch, it is possible that the economic agreement of the transaction is around $ 15 million. Anyway, the note Omnisio has hung in his home, indicating its acquisition by Google, and will soon be part of YouTube Team. In addition, stress that with his experience, apply to create new products and features for the YouTube community.


This is a case in which Google prefers to use the wheel invented to reinvent the wheel, but in any case who wins us users. Now it remains to be seen what will happen with the Omnisio own platform, as we see in the same home as we indicate that disabling the ability to create and record new videos in Omnisio.com, which leads us to YouTube if they want to add notes our own videos.
