It was since one week that Orkut has changed its interface and i discovered a new bug. Although the interface is optimized, which covers the room space perfectly but still Orkut have some bugs in it. Over the last few days my inbox in orkut is following with messages. Generally i get more than 20 mails in orkut a day but now i was unable to delete all the messages.

The delete selected message(s) function is not working properly, currently one has to select each mail individually and the batch process seems to have some bug and functions void, so mails are just overflowing… Even the From check box doesnt work at all. Hope Orkut will soon fix it or i have no other option but to close orkut account.

[update sep 22 ’06] Atlast Orkut updated the message box and finally i could delete all my messages in inbox…

Ok this post may seem like a little wierd because Gmail gives you more than 2Gb storage and i am giving you tips to still make it wider. Although you have much satisfied space, you cannot let your mailbox fill up with unwanted mails or junks, because the rate of your incoming mails grows larger than the increasing free space that Gmail provides. So its better to sort out this problem instead of messing up in future. i got some tips that will help you enhance and optimize your mailbox easily. First of all i use 26Mb(1%) of my 2752 Mb and i get more than 150 mails a day. At this rate, i could have filled half of my inbox but its because of some optimisation and i have used 26Mb(1%).

Ok lets come to the main part… Just keep in mind these simple ideas and steps so that you can save little more space in Gmail. Before optmizing create 5 labels in your gmail account, like sorting the blog posts in categories we must sort the mails in labels under different categories. For example create 5 labels say Friends, Family, Personal, Offical, Misc. Now the next part is labelling each and everymail you got from first. Why do you want to label each and every mail ? Thats because archiving of mails in a specfic categories will even power your search and you get narrow results. I know its harder to label each and every mail but do it as batch process and the main reason i suggest you to do so is that you will surely come across some unwanted mails which you can delete. Unwanted mails in Sent Mail, Chats,etc can be deleted to even get more space. After labelling each mails, archive it so that it stays safe and you could retrive it whenever you want. This process is like filtering the unwanted mails and archiving the important ones.

Clear the Trash and Spam box occasionally to free up more space if you are in an emergency to clean up the gmail. After sorting, your mailbox will look quite cool and smart as mine. Its kinda keeping your mails in fingertips. The Optimization of your mailbox depends on how you use the features of Gmail. Upto my knowledge i think gmail is the best Email Service provider that no other email service can offer. Hope this post might be useful.

Today when i was browsing in the Sci/Tech Category of Google news, i found a wired Title that said “Posted by David Berlind @ 5:41 am”. It was Google’s mistake that it sometimes indexes the poster name instead of the actual title. The actual news page is from ZDnet and title should be “Disappointment over virtualization techs mounts. This time, Oracle takes its shots” but instead google bot has wrongly indexed the poster name. Maybe the problem will be in the Submission page of ZDnet news or with the Google.

Lets sneakout other new problems with google news but dont forgot that Google News is not in Beta or Labs.
