Outlook Email Notifications for Important Messages

Most email notifiers inform you whenever messages have been received in a connected email account. These programs usually make no distinctions between important messages and unimportant ones, which can be a issue of the account is regularly flooded with spam, newsletters and other non-time-relevant messages.

The free Microsoft Outlook add-in Important Mail Alert changes this by allowing you to specify exactly when you want to be notified. The program installs itself automatically, and Outlook users find its entry in the Outlook interface after installation. The Ablebits tab displays a single button that displays or hides the add-in configuration screen in Outlook.

The program supports keyword based rules and will look in the mail subject and body for selected phrases. This is the core difference to Outlook’s own rule based system which can only be configured to look for keywords in the subject of the email.

Keyword only rules are somewhat limited on the other hand, as it is not possible to link keywords to senders for instance or integrate the system into Outlook’s own rule based system.

Alerts are then displayed as notifications on the screen and in the program’s alert tab.

A click on the configuration icon opens the list of mail accounts that you want the rules to be valid for.

Lets take a closer look at the benefits the add-in provides. We have already mentioned that it will not only search the messages subject but also the body text and the to field. That’s however not the only improvement over Outlook’s rule based system. Important Email Alert in fact runs completely independent, which means that you will receive alerts even if the message is moved by Outlook’s own rules system.

Important Email Alert besides that is compatible with Microsoft’s Exchange Server, and offers to open mails with a single click in its interface. The add-in is easy to setup and use, even though it would be great to have additional filtering options available.

Outlook users who want to be notified when email subjects, bodies or recipients are mentioned can download and install the Outlook add-on from the developer website.

The add-on is compatible with Outlook 2003, 2007 and Outlook 2010, provided they run on a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows. The add-in furthermore requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 to be installed on the system. (via Nirmal TV)

Quickly Enable or Disable HTML Messages In Thunderbird

One of my security and privacy recommendations for desktop email users is to disable HTML emails. This basically turns every email that you receive into a plain text email that does not load anything from third party servers. Once in a while though you may stumble upon an email that you need or want to view in HTML. If you have disabled HTML you’d have to enable it again by going to View > Message Body As > Original HTML or Simple HTML to do that. And once you have finished reading the message, you need to perform the very same steps to disable HTML for all emails again.

Sebastian recommended the HTML Temp add-on for the Thunderbird email client to switch HTML messages in Thunderbird on or off more effortlessly.

Download HTML Temp from the official Thunderbird add-ons repository. Once it has been downloaded open up the email client and click on Tools > Add-ons to open the add-ons manager. Click on the options icon on the left of the search all add-ons form there and select Install Add-on from file from the context menu.

install add-on from file

Select the downloaded add-on on your local computer and install it in the email program. You need to restart Thunderbird before it becomes available.

The add-on adds the current message display preference in the lower right corner of the status bar. You can now right-click on it to switch to Simple HTML or Original HTML whenever you need to view a message in HTML. Once you are done you use the same method to switch back to plain text messages.

The add-on allows you to move a button with the same functionality to one of the toolbars. This can be helpful if you have disabled the status bar in the program or prefer to click on the button in the header area of the email client.

Update: Sebastian mentioned that the toolbar button behaves different from the status bar button. When you click the toolbar button HTML will be enabled only for the active email and no other. This means that you do not have to click again to restore the plain text message view.

The Importance of Love Messages

There are a number of people that regard love messages as childish, and as such condemn their use. However, what most people do not realize is that the current world that we live in has somewhat made romance a tad bit hard than what it used to be. Maintaining a fruitful relationship has been made almost next to impossible thanks to work and career. Individuals that are looking for lasting relationship always adore and admire persons that are already in successful relationships.
Thanks to mobile phone technology, you can now enrich your relationship in the simplest of ways. As cellphone technology changes, so does the call rates. What most people used to pay for when calling or sending text messages, is not what we pay for today. Call rates have drastically reduced over the years. This in turn has made it easier for people that would like to send their loved ones love messages all day long.
Why Send Love Messages?
When you are in love, it does not matter what every Tom, Dick and Harry is thinking about your relationship. Relationship is about two people that care for and love one another without conditions. As such, no one has the right to add their two cents worth of thought to what the two of you are doing. If you are at work and the conditions do not allow for you to call your lover or spouse, you can spare a couple of minutes off your busy schedule to send to him or her love messages. Other than making your lover or spouse smile at the other end, even though he or she might be equally as busy as you, the love messages that you send function in keeping the communication line between the two of you open. Even though you have not physically talked to them, you have made some investment in your relationship. At least it makes them know that they are constantly in your mind.
While sending a flirty love message, it is important to ensure that it is spiced and not monotonous. Look for words or phrases that will most definitely light up the face of the person you are sending the text message to. This could be a brief poem, a joke that the two of you share or an interest that is unique to the two of you. This ought to be something that makes the mind of your loved one go to a happy place for a short moment.
