Sync your Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar

Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. You'll be able to determine the direction of information flow, as well as the sync frequency. Staying on top of your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar events has never been easier! Here's some good information to know to help you get started with Google Calendar Sync.

Currently, Google Calendar Sync is only compatible with Microsoft Outlook versions 2003 and 2007, and operating systems Windows XP and Windows Vista.

To set up Google Calendar Sync:

  1. Download Google Calendar Sync (version 0.9.3.5) at http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe
  2. Once a dialog box appears, click Save File. The downloaded file should open automatically. If it doesn't, manually open it from your browser's download window.
  3. Click OK to confirm that you're aware this is an executable file.
  4. Read through the Google Calendar Sync Terms of Service, and click I Agree.
  5. Follow through the Installation Options and click Install to finish the set-up process.

 

Once Google Calendar Sync is installed on your computer, the Google Calendar Sync Settings window will appear:

In the Settings window, enter your email address and password and select the Sync Option you prefer. Read about each Sync Option.

You'll also be able to set the time interval for syncing to occur. Please keep in mind that 10 minutes is the minimum time interval allowed.

After the initial set-up, you can access the Google Calendar Sync Settings window again by double-clicking the calendar icon in your Windows System Tray.

Icon Status

To access the Google Calendar Sync Settings window, just right-click the calendar icon in your Windows System Tray and select Options.

When your events are actively syncing between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar, you'll see arrows in the Google Calendar Sync icon:

When events aren't actively syncing, your calendar icon will look like this:

Shutdown/Restart your computer by an SMS or Email

Shutdown or restart your computer by just an SMS or send an Email from any email ID.

In some situation this trick would help you to shutdown/restart your computer remotely, say for you forgot to shutdown your computer or any of your application just gone to hanged and you are not there, your company people are nagging you over phone and they really don’t know how to play around, in that case the final option is restart and you do not want to inform your company:)

Ok, I will break it, You need MS office outlook( I just tried with MS office outlook 2003, so you can select what ever you want), smsEmail gateway number and a batch file

Here we go,you need to create separate batch files for shutdown the machine and for restart the machine.

The code for shutdown:-

C:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 00

type this code into a notepad and save as shutdown.bat (check your file extensions are enabled, otherwise it will save as txt format)

Just note, save the destination at somewhere which you do not use usually, otherwise if you click on the  bat file by chance, it will go to crazy

follow the same method for create a restart batch file and name it as restart.bat, the code for restart:-

C:\windows\system32\shutdown -r -f -t 00

The next step  is configure your outlook, if you want to configure  Gmail on your outlook follow this link:- http://support.email2pop.com/Gmail_Outlook.html

Then finally here is our deal,

First we go for shutdown option by sending an Email from  any Email account :-

Open your outlook, go to tools-Rules and alerts-press create new rule-start from a blank rule-press next. will get lot of options. Here you have to bit careful,

You can find there with specific word in the subject(check the enable box), in the down you can see specific word, there specify which word you want to use for shutdown your computer (you will get another popup and type which word you want, eg:- shutdown my computer now), then press next, scroll down, you can find start application( check the enable box), in the down you can see start application option, click the start application then select  the appropriate saved batch file which you created before( in this case shutdown.bat). press finish.

How we can test that  is this working? Go to any of your email account, sent an email to your outlook id with the exact subject(shutdown my computer now). once it received to your outlook the rule will generate and the application will run.Before that you need to do one more thing, enable the auto send/receive option, in that it will receive the email automatically, otherwise you cannot perform this trick remotely. Just go to tools-mail setup- press send/receive- will get another popup- do the same like as in the below  picture

 

For restart :-

Do the same like as the shutdown procedure, but you must careful about the specific subject word and application.

Give the word as something restart my computer now and after choose the correct application which you created early ( restart.bat)

then test it.

Finally, How we can work out this method by an sms?

For shutdown:-

You need to create again rules same like as what you did early. For shutdown, the subject should be like SMS from Mobile: +97150xxxx (add your number instead of the xxx) then follow same procedures for shutdown.

You need to find out the email gateway number for sending emails from your mobile.its quite simple to  find out a emailgateway number. I found one from  google, which i will give now  +6591653870

go to your text message, create new  and To number is +6591653870 ,  body as the email id which you selected for the rules, space then type something…the subject it will select automatically as SMS from Mobile: +97150xxxx (instead the xx your number will appear whe the email receive).

for more detail about the smsemail gateway check this :  http://www.visualtron.com/sms2email.htm

For restart:-

you need to create the rules again, when you create the outlook rule select the specific words in the senders address(just scroll down, there you can find this) click in the down for specify the word and type this word there: VisualGSM SMS2Email Server [support@visualtron.com]

There are many other sms_email gateways, you can use those also. if you select any other, just sent a test mail to your outlook account and check what subject and sender id  you received. Then you need to edit or create a new rule for it…

Don’t think it is complicated, it’s very easy to do…

Note :- your outlook should be always open/turned on  for work this trick, if you close your outlook then the rules can’t work out.

if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me

Embed Image in email (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook)

Gmail

 

Gmail Labs offers embedding images into emails.You can upload the files which  appear as small thumbnails. Once you select the required image you have the option to resize them within your email message to thumbnail, medium, large and original dimensions.This feature that can be found in Gmail Labs (under “Settings” -> “Labs”).

 

In order to insert an image you'll have to have "rich formatting" turned on. Once it is, you should notice an image icon squeezed between the emoticon and link icons. Click it and you can upload an image to post in the body of your message. That's it.

Gmail doesn't show URL-based images in messages by default to protect you from spammers, so if you're sending mail to other Gmail users, they'll still have to click "Display images below" or "Always display images from ..." to see images you embed.

  Yahoo

 

Open your Yahoo Mail and ensure  rich text formatting  is enabled in Options  ,

  • Options > Mail Options >Click General>Under Mode make sure Compose messages as color and graphics is selected.
  • Click Save

    Now you have to upload the images from your PC  to anyone of the free image hosting sites.There are many available in net,try a Google check:http://tinyurl.com/qnho82 .Here I am using Photobucket.After uploading your image,just copy it.For that highlight the image with mouse , right click & select copy( Ctrl+C)

    If your image is larger than some 640x640 pixels, consider shrinking it to more handy proportions before you put it online.
    To trim images to be lean and fit for emails use  ResizR. -ResizR is a  free and very useful little utility. ResizR allows you to resize an image from your local computer or the web.Click Browse and select the desired image. Use the slider or the entry field to choose the desired width. Use a width between 300 and 640 pixels.Try 340 pixels first.  Click ResizR.
    Drag and drop the resulting image to your Desktop. Another free utility is VSO Image Resizer.Alternatively you can  use tools  like  Image Resizer PowerToy | IrfanView

    Now paste  this image to your yahoo mail .You can  add more images like this way.Finally, send your Yahoo! Mail message as usual

    If you are using other mail clients like Outlook/Outlook Express, it is easy for you to add images as inline.But  if you don't have Yahoo Plus account, you need to configure your yahoo mail with YPOPs! Download YPOPs! from here http://ypopsemail.com/ .How to configure it in Outlook Express  here  and  in Outlook   here . If you have a  Yahoo Singapore or    Yahoo Hong Kong  ,you can configure Yahoo Mail  in Outlook/Outlook Express .These are providing Free Yahoo POP3 email account.

    Outlook

    Yahoo mail configuration in outlook

    Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook Express or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.
    Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how:
    From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
    Select the "Mail" tab.
    Click the "Add" button.
    From the Add menu, click "Mail."
    In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."

    Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."
    Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.
    Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
    Click "Next."
    In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
    In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
    If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.
    Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."
    Click "Next."
    Click "Finish."
    Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:
    From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
    Select the "Mail" tab.
    Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
    Select the "Servers" tab.
    Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
    Click "OK."
    To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:
    From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
    Select the "Mail" tab.
    Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
    Select the "Advanced" tab.
    In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express.
    If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:
    From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts"
    Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button
