Gmail, Mobility & Less Spam

Since I'm all about mobility today I think it warrants a little discussion on what is without doubt the most popular web application on the web today – Gmail (though I am playing with Microsoft Live.com webmail and wow, they really give Google a run for their money). So what about Gmail and mobility – well, until now you had an option of syncing your phone with Gmail via provided pop3 download feature. However, if you know the joys of browsing via GPRS on two bars or less you know how painful getting mail on mobile devices is. Well, Gmail went mobile. Now you can browse around your Gmail inbox as easilly as you go through your SMS messages. So check out Gmail Mobile. Now on the other end stands the 500lb gorilla of Microsoft Outlook and there are some great news on that end too. First off, and totally unrelated to Outlook, is the great news that IMF updates are now being distributed through WSUS so you don't have to go fish every other week for IMF content filter updates. But back to Outlook – the latest Outlook Junk Filter update is available for download and you if you got junk mail you need this. Even if you're an ExchangeDefender customer and you don't rely on IMF/Outlook to take care of your spam you need to download this update – I have received a TON of support calls with really weird things happening since the last Outlook junk mail update so please put this on the top of your to-do list.
