Being a tech person who formerly managed a few different corporate email systems, sometimes I forget that many people don’t understand some of the details about the security (or lack of security) that’s provided by email. The short story is: Email is NOT HIPAA Secure (at least in 99% of cases) There is a way to encrypt email sent between 2 email systems, but so far a standard and mechanism for encryption between all the vast number of email providers has not been established. I won’t go into the details of why this is the case (cost of encryption, standards for encryption, etc), but suffice it to say that almost none of the email systems send encrypted e...

I’ve been slowing realizing over the last several months that neither Liz nor I religiously check our home answering machine. This is bad, because there may be important messages. We both, however, check our email religiously. I was convinced there was a better way for us to manage the calls to our home that we missed. Eventually, I realized that Google Voice would work quite nicely. Here’s what I did: In Google services: 1. Set up a new Gmail account. 2. Signed up for Google Voice and chose a number that is local for us. 3. In Settings > Phones, I turned OFF all phones (DEselected the check boxes)…so that none of the phones associated with the... davidrothman.net blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4027142 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:15:42 +0100 4027142 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3920917&cid=t_114288_109_f&fid=38950&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shockmd.com%2F2010%2F08%2F31%2Fgmail-priority-inbox%2F Email heaven or not?

The problem was that this exposed your contacts to one another, initially including even their email addresses (which you didn’t realize nor intend when you agreed to Google Buzz that first day it launched). And Google never asked your permission to add these people to your Buzz network. It also shared your Google Reader documents, apparently. (I don’t use Google Reader, so I wasn’t aware of this comp...

Users can choose from different layouts, whatever suits their personality, taste and mood.  The Gmail themes come in two sets: the plain ones and the artistic ones with creative backgrounds, images, and icons. Ashish Mohta at TechnoSpot is lucky enough to experience this new feature first ahead of others and is already seeing the new themes. To view if you already have this new feature, you can access Settings, then next to the Labs tab is the Themes tab which can let you choose the different themes.  With this new feature, I am sure lots of customized...

Describing a ‘privacy dilemma’ that is brought about by the fact that technology requires information to deliver better or customised service, Lahlou warns that such data may later be used in another context and against users’ interest. Lahlou mentioned Gmail as an example of his personal experience with the privacy dilemma. “I feel that it is actually not reasonable to leave all my mail in someone else’s hands; but I am, as most of us, taken in this privacy dilem...

Eurgh. No more POP3 retrieval to my GMail account. I restored sanity using an Ubuntu server as follows. Needless to say, this requires that (a) the exchange server allows IMAP access and (b) the SMTP server for your machine will relay mail outside of your domain. Updated: to do it all via procmailrc, without .forward Install fetchmail and edit /etc/fetchmailrc: sudo apt-get install fetchmail sudo nano -w /etc/fetchmailrc Make /etc/fetchmailrc look something like this: set daemon 300 poll your.exchange.server protocol imap username “user” password “pass” smtpname “user@gmail.com” ssl replacing your.exchange.server, user (exchange), pass (exchange) and user@gmail.com (your ...

You’ve been trialling a software package or online service for years. You think it’s great, so do your online community friends and you finally decide to share the love with your work colleagues. As soon as you do so, they discover a usage issue that you’ve never even thought about. It completely ruins the experience for them and makes your beloved application look like a piece of crap. This keeps happening to me with Google and a large part of the problem concerns email addresses and Google accounts.
