Set up Goldmine with Google Mail

Has your company switched to Google Apps and you’re wondering how to get your emails in Goldmine? It’s actually quite easy. (I say Google Apps, but this will work for personal use Gmail as well as Google Apps Mail).

First you need to enable IMAP on your Google Mail account (if it isn’t already). In Google Mail go to Settings. Then click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab> Check the radio button to enable IMAP.

Now set up Goldmine to connect to GMail. In Goldmine go to Tools> User settings> Preferences> Email. In the Getting mail section set the server to IMAP and enter address imap.gmail.com. Username is your email address, password is your password. Check the ‘Use encrypted connection (SSL)’ box.

In the Sending Mail section the SMTP server is smtp.gmail.com, return address is your email address. Again, check the ‘Use encrypted connection (SSL)’ box.

Done

Leave me a comment if you want one.

Google Notebook: Back from the dead?

Dan — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:24:13 +0000

I’m a recent convert to Microsoft OneNote. It’s fantastic. I love the ability to quickly store bits of information I might need at some point, and quickly search through them all. As I’m also a big fan of all Google products I recently looked into whether Google had an equivalent product. Turns out they did, Google Notebook, but that they stopped all development/new access to it in January of this year, focusing efforts instead on Google Docs.

However, I was on iGoogle this morning and the Google tip of the day was Google Notebook. I clicked on it and lo and behold, Google Notebook was open again!

So what does this mean? Is Google reactivating Notebook? Will there development on it again? Will it be added to Google Apps? As I can see find no explanation as to why Google have reopened it, I guess we’ll have to wait and find out.
