• 国内建站不靠谱，国内邮箱也不靠谱

  Date: 2009.03.26 | Category: In My Opinion | Response: 0

  今天浏览新闻的时候，发现了一篇文章，写的是关于国内邮箱在某种特定情况下被和谐丢失邮件的问题。相关的链接：http://www.kenengba.com/post/781.html。

  文章作者做了个实验，从gmail向QQ发送了两封邮件，一封内容比较“激进”，另一封则内容平缓。而第一封却怎么也发不过来，QQ邮箱无法接收。所以这里面会存在丢失邮件的问题。进一步看，我们的隐私也不被保证。

  然而，国内邮箱的不靠谱，责任应该不在于QQ，或是其他网络服务商。也许他们接到了上级的要求通知，更有可能是GFW将这些内容的邮件拦截下来了，不得而知。但无论怎么说，国内的邮箱还是不靠谱的，至少并不能保证能够接收到所有的邮件，我们的知情权再一次被无视了。

  其实有些事情是无法改变的，能改变的，就是让自己尽量去避免遇到这样一些问题。还好我邮箱的后台是基于Gmail的。搬家海外，虽然少了些潜在读者，但也降低了今后潜在的风险。利弊皆存在，而自主、自由是我等更加追求的。这样对我们来讲，更好一些吧。

• Hotmail opens pop3 port to worldwide people!

  Date: 2009.03.13 | Category: Learn from Others, Software | Response: 0

  When I was sur­fing inter­net today, I found a big news: Hotmail has already ope­ned its pop3 service to all over the world. Days before, we all knew hotmail opens pop3 for 11 coun­t­ries like Bra­zil, UK, and so on. But today, as a user outside that coun­t­ries, we are avai­la­ble to use that service!

  Here are some con­fi­gu­ra­tion parameters:

  user­name: yourname@hotmail.com
  POP3 server: pop3.live.com
  POP3 port: 995
  Use SSL: Yes
  SMTP: smtp.live.com
  SMTP port:25
  USE TLS/SSL:Yes

  That’s a big news for us to unify all mails into one mai­lbox. Cer­tainly, Goo­gle Gmail is a best choice to do that!

• Set Firefox 3 to Launch Gmail for mailto Links

  Date: 2008.06.27 | Category: Web Front-end | Response: 0

  For­ward from web. Just enjoy that!~

  
  In today’s ear­lier list of five exten­sions you won’t need in Fire­fox 3, we said you won’t need any spe­cial too­lbars, third-party apps, Grea­se­mon­key scri­pts, or exten­sions to get Fire­fox to use weba­pps to open cer­tain types of links. This means that when you click on an email add­ress that uses the stan­dard mailto: email pro­to­col, Fire­fox 3 itself can launch Gmail instead of a desktop app. By default, the Fire­fox RC 1 only comes with Yahoo Mail as a possi­ble mailto: link han­dler, which leaves Gmail users out in the cold—unless you know how to set it up by hand. Here’s how to con­fi­gure Fire­fox 3 to use Gmail as your default mailto: appli­ca­tion handler.

  Ready to set up Gmail? Roll up those sleeves.

  1. Open Gmail in Firefox.
  2. In the tab where Gmail is loa­ded, copy and paste the follo­wing sni­ppet of Java­Sc­ript into your add­ress bar:

     javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,“https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,“GMail”)

     If you are a Goo­gle Apps user, use this code instead, but replace example.com with your domain name:

     javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,“https://mail.google.com/a/example.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,“GMail”)

  3. Fire­fox 3 will ask per­mi­ssion to add Gmail as default mai­lto han­dler. Click the Add Appli­ca­tion button, as shown.
     

  Update, 6÷18÷08: Thanks to a great tip from a rea­der And­rew, the inst­ru­ctions above have been sho­r­te­ned con­si­de­ra­bly. Thanks, And­rew!

  Now, if you click a mailto: link—try the tips link on Lifehacker’s sidebar—Firefox 3 will ask which appli­ca­tion you want to use. Choose Gmail, and select “Reme­mber my choice for mai­lto links” to set the pre­fe­rence permanently.

  

  **Upda­ted 5/21** If this trick doesn’t work for you, go into about:config and make sure that network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to its default value true.

  ***Upda­ted 5/21*** To remove the Gmail han­dler, in Firefox’s Tools menu, choose Options. (Mac users, go to the Pre­fe­ren­ces dia­log.) In the Appli­ca­tions tab, sea­rch for mai­lto. From the drop-down of mai­lto han­dlers, choose Appli­ca­tions Details, as shown. Here you can select a webapp han­dler and Remove it using the button.

  

  Fire­fox 3’s new abi­lity to regi­ster weba­pps as link han­dlers has lots of poten­tial usage, for ever­ything from fax and tele­phone numbers to IM buddy name links. Setting up your mai­lto han­dler is just the begin­ning. Read more about Fire­fox 3 web pro­to­col han­dler possi­bi­li­ties. Thanks, rea­dme!
