How does Easy-Email work?
So what is the magic behind Easy-Email?
What makes it all tick?
This was originally going to be a long and detailed article.
But it is actually surprisingly simple:
- Instead of downloading your email to one computer you direct it to Gmail.
- Your computers and mobile devices synchronize with Gmail.
The fact that your computers synchronize with Gmail instead of downloading the email means that all of your computers have the same emails. And anything you do on one computer will be synchronized with Gmail... and then with any other computer or mobile device you use.
So if you send an email from your home computer you can see the sent email on your netbook or laptop. If you are using Gmail in an internet cafe and you move an email from your inbox to another folder the email will be moved on all your computers. If you read an email on one computer it will show as read on all your computers.
And the best thing is: It all happens automatically!
Email the way it was meant to be: Easy!

Not to secure if you ask me.
You raise a good point :-)
With respect to the email you have stored in your Gmail account you have to make a decision on whether you trust Google or not. If you don't this solution is not for you. Alternatively you can use your own IMAP sever (or one you trust) and with a bit more work (Gmail gives you some neat extra features) you can get the same benefits.
On a practical note... many businesses rely on Google and their business email solutions, so in my personal opinion Google is not a risk.
For email in transit you do not control the transmission after it leaves your outbox. So in other words email is inherently insecure. Even if you use SSL between your computer and your SMTP server (which fortunately is more and more common) you cannot be sure that the recipient does not use an unsecured connection.
The only way to secure your email is if you encrypt it before you send it. I personally do not know of anyone (apart from Lisbeth Salander in Stieg Larssons excellent novels) who does this.
Thanks for raising the point!
Cheers,
Anders
