How to use email at full capacity

Email is the oldest and still the most popular service on the Internet. It was only later that web applications appeared that can literally do everything you may need. However, the good old post does not give up and also learns new tricks. In this overview, you will learn about a few unusual things you can do with your mailbox (… with a little help from my friends).

So, with the help of e-mail you can …

Create a web page

Received an interesting letter that you want to show to everyone? You don't have to email it to a bunch of people. You just need to send it to the address [email protected], and it will turn into a nice web page that you can immediately share on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or in any other way convenient for you.

Create a blog post

Many popular blogging platforms, including Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr, allow you to create posts by sending an email. In this case, the subject becomes the title, and the body of the email becomes the content of the post.

To activate this feature, open your blog settings, enable email-based posting and get your secret email address to which you will need to send messages.

Convert files, pictures, documents to different formats

Do you need to convert one file format to another, but you don't have the required program on your computer? Then use your email and send this file to [email protected], where the word format must be replaced with the name of the extension you need. For example, if you want to convert a DOC document to PDF, then you should send this file to [email protected]. After a while, in a response letter, you will receive a finished result. Files up to 1 MB in size are accepted for processing.

Save any web page

If you do not have time to read all the interesting articles on the Internet, then you can save them on your device so that you can study later in your free time. It is convenient to do this in PDF format, which is quite compact and displays equally well on all devices. To do this, you just need to send a link to the page you are interested in at [email protected] … In just a few seconds, you will receive a message with an attachment containing the page you need in the form of an electronic document.

Receive reminders

There are many different timers, schedulers and other ways to manage your time on the web. But you can also use your mail service for this. Just send an email to [email protected], where the word time should be replaced with the interval you want. For example, if you need a reminder in 10 minutes, then an email should be sent to 10mins @ reminderbaba. In the same way, you can set literally any time intervals, including recurring reminders (once a week, month, year, at the appointed time, etc.).

Add events to your calendar

Sometimes it happens that you receive an important email about an event that cannot be missed or forgotten. It is best in this case to put yourself a notch in the calendar. Gmail has an easy way to do this for Google Calendar, but what if you're using a different set of services?

In this case, we simply forward our letter to the address [email protected] … Your letter will be analyzed for the presence of dates in it, and as a result, a corresponding event will be created in the calendar. But in order for all this to work, you need to register and make some settings on the Super.cc service.

Upload files to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive

If you register with the service, you will receive a special mailing address of the form [email protected] … By sending an email with an attachment to it, you will instruct the service to upload the resulting file to one of your file storages.

As you can see, with the help of e-mail, you can perform many quite urgent tasks. Sometimes it is much more convenient and faster than going to the page of the corresponding service, so we suggest that you take these methods into service.
