Webupon

Everyone and their grandmother now emails. Literally. But what about Spam? What about throwing your email out all over the web? Posting your email on Blogs? Or even talking to your Email? Technology compounds and so do our creative uses for the old fashioned email. Heres some great new web applications to have handy while emailing, blogging or working.

Mailinator

Mailinator is a great free disposable email. Anytime you ever need to get emails that require verification, you simply type whatever@mailinator.com, then proceed to the website and check the fake email account you sent it too! You don’t have to set Mailinator up and they have other email servers you can send the fakies too.

Disposable email is great so websites and spammers won’t have your real email. Email verification just got easier.

EmailFuture.com

Email Future is a web client in which you can write an email to yourself or others to be delivered on a future date. You pick the date and time, up to 25 years from now! Email reminder for the meeting next week? Surprising someone? Birthday greetings? Pretending to be at the office while on vacation? Reminding yourself of that lifelong to-do list you wrote ten years prior? The possibilities are endless.

Gmail

The best free email hands down. Gmail offers you seven gigabytes of online email storage. You never delete emails, you just archive them for later, then easily search their content or sender to pull up emails from years ago. Gmail is also easily integrated with many other Google features such as calendars and notes. Oh did I mention, you can import your current contact list into Gmail to save time and ease the transition?

GetNetWise

Get Net Wise is a great email masking service for when you post your email on the internet in blogs, message boards or forums. Get Net Wise will allow you to input your email, then it generates a code for you to put in the place of your email next time you post. What this does is mask your email from spam crawler bots that walk the internet looking for their next spam victims.

To the human eye, the email looks normal, but isn’t formatted the way that the spammers hunt for and harvest emails. Just one more utility to fight back the piling spam.

V! Free Email

This websites offers email addresses @v.gg.com. The main draw of this website is for those of you obsessed with a short email address. You can’t find many one letter domain names, especially hosting email. Wouldn’t recommend for those with heavy volume of email because they offer only 25mb of storage space.

Zookoda

Zookoda is a great resource for all you bloggers, tweeters, diggers, stumblers and writers! Zookoda is a FREE resource to send out mass emails weekly, monthly or whenever.

A great way to boost traffic and popularity is by sending out newsletter. Zookoda offers webmaster like tools and resources, allowing bloggers to view subscription list, click reports and more.

Esnailer

eSnailer is one of the most bizarre websites I’ve run across. The site lets you write out a message and input a real mailing address and eSnailer will send them a real envelope with your message enclosed. For Free.

10 Minute Mail

10 minute mail is a disposable email address that is great for sending any sort of verification email. By having an email address that expires, you can “verify” an email address and sign up for services without the worry spam building up in your mailbox.

A great thing about 10 Minute Mail is that the email server changes once a month so webmaster’s who catch on to the server will be ousted soon enough.

Jott

Jott is a phenomenal resource for the busy blogger and active liver. Jott allows you to call a number, speak clearly, and Jott will transcribe it. Yes, Jott will “listen” then either email the transcription, text it or list it. You can set up an account and manage all these memos. Best of all, it’s all free!

Jott is great if you’re not around your computer or don’t feel like fooling with it, just call the number and leave yourself a memo, to be emailed to you instantly.

SpyPig

SpyPig is a great utility for email, allowing you to know if the email you sent was opened by the recipient. You type your email and your recipients email into a web form and receive a coded “blank image” which can track if the email was opened.

Think of the applications. Love letter, job interview request, money request. You’ll know if your email was read, and act from there. Its as simple as attaching a small image to your email and waiting to see if they’ve read it or not.

Spambox.us

Spambox is a temporary email generator, sort of like Mailinator or 10 minute mail. The difference is that Spambox sets up a temporary email specifically designed to forward to your real email. You can set the expiration of the email account, retrieve the information you need then ignore the email account, as it will soon expire. Take that Spammers!

Privnote

Private Note allows you to write a message and receive a web url with a temporary web page with your message. Once the message is viewed, it can never be seen again, so make sure you copy the message. Using it, you can get a James Bond secret agent feeling. Or just use it for one time viewing privacy.

FuzzMail

FuzzMail is an internet email utility in which you begin writing an email to someone, and FuzzMail records every pause, backspace, typo and edit you make. FuzzMail adds a personal touch to the impersonal side of email. The days of writing letters are long gone, and emails reign king, chock full of perfect punctuation and formatting written in Times New Roman. FuzzMail changes all of this. Your viewer can “watch” you write the email.

StopForwarding.Us

Many times your friends and family begin sending you junk mail. In fact sometimes between them all you end up with more “family spam” than advertising spam. Stop Forwarding will send a generic email with an anonymous sender and generic anti spam, friendly message, kindly asking the person to stop sending so much junk.

Flowers 2 Mail

Flowers 2 Mail is a great flash application in which you can design a floral bouquet to be emailed, along with a card. You can arrange the flowers and pick colors, then write a personal message and send it.

This is a compiled list of archived Gmail tips and tricks. Instruction for using almost every feature in Gmail; how to sync Gmail with other clients, devices and more. There are also great descriptions of how Gmail archives your conversations and search techniques for within your own email. Must see for anyone using Gmail.

As technology telescopes, services like these will seem dated soon enough. For now, they are great for fighting email spam, saving you time and keeping you organized. Hopefully our dependence on technology will soon come full cycle and we can rid ourselves of such complete reliance on this techno vice of ours. Until then, happy emailing!
