Find and Delete Unused Accounts With Heartbleed security bug hits millions of people

After the recent Heartbleed bug scare, some of you may want to go and delete those dormant accounts you never use any more. For a quick way to find such sites you signed up on, go to your inbox and search for the term: "Confirm your email."

When something like the Heartbleed security bug hits millions of people, our standard advice is to change your passwords across all the affected services. With Heartbleed, the list was so large that it was advisable to go back to every account you have signed up at. And if many of them are unused, it kind of makes sense to just delete them in case some other security flaw in the future compromises you.

If you are lucky, you use Lastpass to manage all your accounts and you can just delete everything from that list. But if that's not the case, chances are, you have used one or two email accounts to sign up at all these web sites over the years. Searching for "confirm your email" (first with the quotes, then without) in your inbox gives you a list of most of these websites, after which it's a matter of going there and deleting your account. The trick is similar to, and inspired by, searching for "unsubscribe" to purge newsletters in your email.

Gusto Debuts A Smarter, More Powerful Email App For iPhone

There’s no lack of startups trying to rethink the mobile email experience, such as Mailbox, Boxer, CloudMagic, Triage, or Acompli, to name just a few. Now a new application called Gusto is throwing its hat into the ring, as well, with a smart email application that helps you more easily find files and photos within dedicated tabs, plus a powerful search feature that lets you refine keyword searches through a variety of filters, including file type, account, date, read/unread status, and more.

The company behind the product has quite the history. Originally called Sendgine, it was previously focused on building a secure messaging platform for legal communications, or something of a “Basecamp meets Gmail” type of product, explains CEO Shawn Schwegman.

Schwegman, a technology industry vet with decades of experience and an “appetite for risk,” as he puts it, was brought in to run Sendgine when the company had just two weeks of cash left. (It had previously raised $1.2 million from angels, friends and family.)

He was originally recruited for the CMO position, having served as CMO and, more briefly, CTO, at both Overstock.com and ChaCha. However, after hearing about the situation, Schwegman said he’d only take the CEO job if available, warning them that they pivot the company entirely, dump the code, launch a new, mobile-first product, and change the name.

The board quickly agreed. Sendgine’s co-founders Jeff Goens and Colin Matthews are no longer involved day-to-day, but Goens retains a board seat.

Since Schwegman joined Sendgine now Gusto, he’s brought in a new team of over half a dozen experienced engineers and architects and raised another $1.3 million ahead of launch. The idea to do mobile email came about because it offered both the “biggest opportunity and biggest problem” to solve, he says.

Schwegman initially thought they could re-use some code from Sendgine, but as it turns out, Gusto had to be built from the ground up.

As for the email client itself, it’s fairly impressive for such a young product. The app mimics the default Apple Mail app’s look and feel, with the same font, spacing, the little blue dots indicating unread messages, the bottom-right “Compose” button, swipe-to-archive gestures, and more - all which makes Gusto feel less foreign.

But then it augments the experience with tabs at the top where you can surface just the files or photos you’ve been emailed. You can tap a button on the bottom-left to change the view from the standard list to expanded messages to two rows of smaller thumbnails. You can pinch to expand the message-list view to show more lines of email text and then pinch again to return to the normal view.

You can also more easily attach files or photos when composing new emails, as Gusto can quickly surface the list of all those files already sent to you from the attachment interface. The files are listed by date and are searchable.

And most importantly, you can tap the search icon in Gusto for access to a very precise search feature that lets you narrow down a keyword search by mail account, folder, date, read status, attachments, or other metadata when searching for files and photos.

For now, Gusto only works with Gmail, but a release due out in a few weeks will add support for Yahoo and Facebook. The latter option will allow you to surface just the notifications that are important to you – like the status updates or new photos from a significant other or family members, for example. In later releases, Gusto will add more mail accounts (the app lists Aol, Outlook.com and “other” as coming soon) and other cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox.

Some of the features Gusto offers are more similar to certain other email apps like Mailbox, which focuses on fast search and integrations with cloud services, too, or Acompli, which also breaks out files into their own dedicated sections, among other things.

But the larger vision for Gusto is to be more than just an email client. “We’ll really provide that one unified view of all files, photos and emails across all your accounts – that’s the goal.”

The app was soft-launched on the iOS App Store a few weeks ago, and hasn’t done any marketing. Of the handful (~2,500) of early adopters, 25 percent are returning to the app daily, which is promising.

The Indianapolis-based company has $1.3 million in pre-product seed funding from Elevate Ventures, which has been on a rolling close since November. Gusto will likely raise another $1 million in seed funding for additional operating capital and marketing.

Eventually, the company will go the freemium route to generate revenue.

Gusto is a free download here on iTunes.

CloudMagic Email app – Indie app of the day

What is CloudMagic Email?

CloudMagic Email is a newer email application that packs quite the punch. Not only does it support multiple emails from the top email providers, but it also has some features baked in under the hood to help with productivity and CloudMagic has a decent design to boot. Also, it’s free and free is always a good thing.

The first thing you’ll notice about the app are the immense number of accounts that are available. You can sign in with your Microsoft account (both Outlook and Office 365), Google account, iCloud, Exchange, and any IMAP service you can think of. This is perfect for those who have emails from a number of different providers and need them under one roof. Once you sign in, you can view a combined inbox that shows all mail for every email or individual accounts by selecting them from the slide-out menu on the left.

The controls are pretty basic and mimic the official Gmail app to an extent. You can long press to select one email then short press to select multiples once you’re in that mode. Once in an email there are control buttons on the top right of the email page much like Gmail. There is support for landscape mode on devices and tablet support as well should you need something with those kind of features. In terms of sheer email use, CloudMagic keeps it simple but highly functional which is one of its biggest strengths.

CloudMagic also comes with some pretty nifty plugins baked in. They call them “cards” and they can be accessed by clicking on the square icon in any email (to the left of the reply button). With these cards you can interact with other applications without leaving your email. For instance, you can put links from emails into Pocket if you use that. You can also interface with apps like the venerable Evernote, ZenDesk, Trello, and others. This is extremely handy if you use those tools regularly to quickly turn your emails into other things that you can use later. The list of cards available is actually quite extensive and they’ll likely be adding more because you can email them to suggest apps to turn into cards.

What’s wrong with this app?

The design is highly functional but it is a tad bland. There are small, colored lines next to each email address and some colorful UI elements here and there but a massive percentage of the app is gray. Some have suggested adding a dark theme or even a light theme and we agree that would’ve been nice. Also, users have reported some smaller issues like not having access to the Spam folder (where important emails end up sometimes), inability to copy email addresses from some parts of the app, and other very minor issues. Nothing overly important but depending on how you use your email, they could be a little annoying.

---

Final thoughts

Overall, this is a very solid email app. The design is a tad bland but it is highly functional which kind of balances things out. The card system is brilliant and people who integrate a lot of their productivity into Android apps like Evernote, Trello, and Pocket will see an immediate benefit from switching over.

It does have its small issues here and there but there really is nothing that’s so wrong with this app that we wouldn’t recommend it. It’s solid, it supports the most popular email clients, and has a few very unique features that you don’t see anywhere else. If you want to try it out, click the button below!

Dropbox’s popular iOS email client ‘Mailbox’ finally comes to Android

Roughly a year ago, Dropbox acquired popular iOS email client Mailbox for $100 million. Now after all this time, Android users can finally get their hands on the Mailbox app as well!

Just like the iOS version, Mailbox’s biggest features are its unified inbox that lets all your mail come into one place, as well as its swiping functions that allow you to snooze emails until later, or you can even archive and delete messages depending on whether you short or long swipe to the right. One change from the iOS version is a brand new feature called Auto Swipe, which basically learns your swiping actions in order to bring automation to certain tasks like archiving.

For those looking for “one email client to rule them all”, it’s worth noting that Dropbox is introducing a version of Mailbox for desktop computers as well. This handy for those who enjoy the Mailbox app and are looking for a uniform experience both on mobile and desktop.

Mailbox is free to use, though at the moment it only supports iCloud and Gmail accounts. Dropbox promises wider email platform support is coming down the pipe line, though.

Anyone try out Mailbox for Android yet? If so, what do you think so far, how does it compare to other popular Android clients like the official Gmail app?

Pictaculous – Get Your Color Palette Via Email

We are fans of color tools and color pickers because they make our lives as designers a whole lost easier. Tools like 0to255 helps us find HEX codes for color shades, while Adobe Kuler lets us generate color schemes from an iOS device. Today, we are going to show you a color palette generator tool called Pictaculous.

The special feature Pictaculous has to offer is that you can email an image to Pictaculous and it will "reply" you with the image color palette you want. So if you are travelling somewhere and you see a billboard with stunning colors, and you wonder what color palettes they are using (because designers are professional like that), then this is the iPhone app to get.

Read Also: Practical Approach To Choosing Website Color Scheme

Send An Email

So you have snapped the billboard you want to source colors from. Email the image (in JPG, PNG or GIF only) to colors@mailchimp.com.

(Image Source: Gizmag)

You will receive an email reply and find all the color palettes that were used in the image. Also in the email are suggested color themes from Adobe Kuler and ColourLovers.

There’s even an attachment of an Adobe Swatch File that’s ready to be used.

Upload An Image

If you don’t want to use your email, you can also upload the image at the Pictaculous homepage and hit the GET MY PALETTE button. Note that to use this feature, the image size cannot exceed 500KB. And just like the emailing feature, it only supports the JPG, PNG and GIF filetypes.

The color palette list will appear on your screen.

Note however that while this method also gives you the Adobe Swatch File, you still will need to give them your email address for them to send you the color palette.

And that’s it. As you can probably guess, this Pictaculous tool is from MailChimp. It’s a really helpful tool for designers who which are always seeking inspiration even when they are on the go. Try it out and feel free to share your thoughts below.

Microsoft Read A Blogger’s Personal Email And IMs, Court Docs Reveal

Microsoft caught and fired an employee who leaked confidential software to a French blogger. That blogger then published screenshots of Windows 8 to the Internet before Microsoft’s official announcement. The employee also secretly released, without authorization, a tool that could have allowed for the unauthorized activation of copies of Windows, potentially harming Microsoft’s ability to derive revenue from its software products.

The manner in which the leaker was caught was detailed in a suit filed by the U.S. government against the employee. (Microsoft commented on the situation. Its comment is included below.) Included in the report was a note that Microsoft decided it was within its legal authority to tap into the Hotmail account of the external blogger tied to the leaks, and read email and instant messages.

The blogger had emailed Microsoft looking for clarification regarding some of the software that he had received from the internal source. Microsoft connected the blogger’s email address to the publication where the leaks had been published. So the company took a peek.

Was it legal for Microsoft to do so? Microsoft’s Terms of Service allow it to access information in the accounts that are stored on its “Communications Services,” a group of products that may include: “e-mail services, bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars, photo albums, file cabinets and/or other message or communication facilities designed to enable you to communicate with others.”

The Terms of Service is blunt: “Microsoft reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication Services and to remove any materials in its sole discretion.” That statement is preceded by a tepid promise of some sort of privacy: “Microsoft has no obligation to monitor the Communication Services.” Here are just a few of things that you are not allowed to use Microsoft services for:

While Microsoft is within its legal right to access the emails in question, it is embarrassing for the company: It has spent untold sums attacking Google’s email service for its automatic scanning of email messages in order to better serve ad content against them.

Both Google and Microsoft scan email for viruses, making Microsoft’s contentions in the ‘Scroogled’ campaign tepid at best and asinine at worst. Thus, to have it become known that Microsoft is willing to enter accounts of a blogger — journalist, really — to plug their own hole is tinted with hypocrisy.

Microsoft won’t read your email unless they pretty much want to — then, too bad.

Microsoft provided TechCrunch with a statement regarding the situation and past actions:

During an investigation of an employee we discovered evidence that the employee was providing stolen IP, including code relating to our activation process, to a third party.  In order to protect our customers and the security and integrity of our products, we conducted an investigation over many months with law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.  This included the issuance of a court order for the search of a home relating to evidence of the criminal acts involved.  The investigation repeatedly identified clear evidence that the third party involved intended to sell Microsoft IP and had done so in the past.

As part of the investigation, we took the step of a limited review of this third party’s Microsoft operated accounts.   While Microsoft’s terms of service make clear our permission for this type of review, this happens only in the most exceptional circumstances.  We apply a rigorous process before reviewing such content.  In this case, there was a thorough review by a legal team separate from the investigating team and strong evidence of a criminal act that met a standard comparable to that required to obtain a legal order to search other sites.  In fact, as noted above, such a court order was issued in other aspects of the investigation.

You can decide on the morality for yourself. Here are the pertinent sections of the suit:
