Find and delete large mp3, zip and attachments files in gmail easily ?

Are you out of space in gmail and inbox size is growing like a mountain? then here is a quick tip on how to search and delete all the unwanted heavy files, recently i saw that my gmail space was already 78% full as i rarely log into gmail web as i use gmail imap along with outlook express and it was expected as i am using my gmail account from almost 5years from now and it is one of my primary email id so i thought of clearing all the unwanted heavy forwards with attachments and videos so below is the simple method i used to free the space.

gmail gives you a luxury of retrieving any mails with specific attachments by using simple queries and to list the mail headers which satisfy the condition so to search and delete all the audio and video files you can submit the below query in the search bar in your gmail

"has:attachment (*.mp3 || *.avi || *.wm || *.mov || *.wmv )"

the query is simple and human understandable just add the extension *.mpeg or any other format extension if you have received those kind of files in your mailbox

to find and delete large documents and spreadsheets or any other files such as visio docs etc use below query

has:attachment (*.pdf || *.doc || *.docx || *.xls || *.xlsx || *.ppt || *.pptx )

Most of the time pdf, ppt and docs consumes most of our mailbox space

similarly to delete all the compressed or zipped attachments use below query
has:attachment (*.zip || *.rar || *.7z )

you can even add .cab, .iso etc to the above query according to your needs

now after applying the filter and searching you can easily delete the unwanted mail from your inbox note after deleting the mails make sure to empty the thrash to get back the space as gmail keeps deleted mails in the thrash for certain period of time to recover in case if we want it back

which are sunlight readable color screen mobile phones ?

my old cellphone display is not day light readable that is screen is extremely difficult to see in broad daylight so i decided to buy a new phone which has a visibility in daylight though i thought simple googling will give me the answer on which cell phone to buy but then i came to know that there is no much information about on this matter.

and after a long hard search on the net i came to know that Blackberry, iPhone, and some nokia E series have a daylight or sunlight readable screens and most of them say motorola and lg are the phones to be away if you are looking for visible screens.


what i am looking in the new phone is 3.2MP t o 8MP camera, excellent audio, 3G, wifi nice keypad, slim and thin body and good battery life and of course sunlight reflective screen i dont want to again endup covering my hand in the sunlight to read the content on the screen if any one of you know such phone do suggest me some good phones.

Peek mobile email device vs smart phones

recently Aircel launched a first of its kind email device in India to enhance email experience on the move, what special about this device is its a email only low cost device priced at 2999 INR and it is said to be available in all Aircel stores, croma, ezone and few other stores.
coming to my personal review based on my experience in email's and based on the features of peek has to offer, peek comes in two flavors peek and peek pronto but in india aircel is offering only peek, peek is said to:

Peek features
--> support multiple(three) email accounts
--> easy to setup interface
--> supports push email that is you get emails as and when you get it that is on the fly,
--> peek as the the ability to view attachments (pdf, word, excel, pictures etc)
--> supports features such as Security lock, Airplane mode, themes, sounds and alerts
--> Ability to download contacts
--> Can search inbox for mails
--> Remarkable battery life 3-5 days( from various sources)

now coming to look and feel of the device
--> Large Screen
--> Peek is slim, thin and ligt weight
--> QWERTY Keypad
--> Side Scroller Wheel to scroll the mail headers and menu up and down
--> a back button on side of the device
--> Nice Email indicator on top of the screen to for alert new emails

below is the video on overall first hand review on peek which gives a nice overall view on this email device



the aircel peek plans is as below:
Prepaid: unlimited email service for first 90 days at the price tag of 897 rs and subsequent plans are rs 89 for 7days and 299 for 30 days.

Postpaid: similar to prepaid rs 897 for first 90 days for unlimited email service and monthly rental of 299.

and my take on the peek being a email application developer for more than 3 years, though peek says what it does it has the some of the cons on its side being a non touch interface device it is very pain to browse view and compose email using the scroll wheel and button but this will be a good device for less tech savvy people such as grandpa's, doctors who access emails once in a while and other major cons of it is its inability to make voice calls without it people always carry two devices one for emailing and one for voice calls, what ever it is lets see how Indian people goes with peek?
