Gmail on a Mac

This one is going to drive me nuts. On a pc using gmail you can type an email, press tab and then enter and it sends the email. When you press tab it moves focus to the send button. On this mac that doesn't happen. Tab never performs like I expect, at least on web pages. Driving me nuts. Funny how such a little thing can make such a difference. But I at least need a comparable key combination so I don't have to touch my mouse in gmail.

Just found the answer to this. System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts then at the bottom you see "Full Keyboard Access". Make sure you choose the "All Controls" option and it works like a charm. Wahoooo!

Importing Outlook Email into Google Apps (Gmail)

Here is an article about different ways to import existing email into your new Google Apps account.

This is mentioned in that article, but looks like a tool to make some migrations very simple: http://www.limitnone.com/products.php

Maybe not free, but what is your time worth?

Goldmine and Gmail

I want to move my main domain to a hosted email service, Google apps for domains. I know this domain generates a lot of email traffic so how nice not have to worry about that.

Our sales department uses goldmine. This means they use the email interface inside goldmine to allow them to attach email communications to the prospects they are associated with. Goldmine does not support SSL in their email client. The work around can be found at this site:

Also, Don't click on the link to the stunnel.eze file. Go to the page and get the latest. I noticed that the newer versions have the ability to install stunnel as a service and I am not sure some of the older versions have all those features.

I tested this on my machine and it worked great. No I am one step closer to being able to host my email.
