Micro-Hack: Gmail Contact View
(This isn’t worthy of a full post, but we have no micro-hack trick here. I’m hacking Lifehack?)
In Gmail, I keep finding it really useful to hit the Contacts button on the left side navigation area, and then click on a contact’s name. What comes back is a little contact card area up top (complete with picture, if they’re a Gmail user, or if you’ve bothered to add pictures to your contacts).
Below that are all the emails between you and that person. It’s very useful for quickly scanning, and I find it a cleaner, easier-to-mess-with view instead of just applying a filter. (In fact, I’m a bit lazy with the filters).
That is all.

Hmm…when I click on the Contacts link in the sidebar all that happens is the Contacts maintenance screen opens. I don’t get a list of contacts down the sidebar. Maybe there’s a setting I have to change to get this to appear?

You are all liers ! If you cannot make it, why then should you lie to the whole world and picking money for nosense that never works ? 3 Months now I have tried all ways , all instruction to get into my wife yahoo mail at no avail. The MAIDEAMON always says the address given in TO field no longer exist or is not a member of yahoo.
But it is ok to keep people busy, how about for educational purposes ? To hell with you.

FYI: I am divorcing after 25 yrs of marriage. My STBX was controlling and suspiscious, but had many good qualities as well. The final straw was when I caught him spying on me. There was never any reason to spy on me, I was always honest and faithful.
Take this into account if you decide to invade your partner’s privacy.

What happend to my hotmail account was that i changed my password and when i came to change the secret question (because i forgot it), it kept saying that my password is invalid.. i tryed my old password but still the same. I tryed to guess what my secret question was but i couldn’t remember it altough i think it was something like the old password, but because i tryed to figure it out alot of times it has been blocked for me… the alternate e mail is still a problem because my yahoo mail isnt working because i haven’t used it for quite a long time, and now i remained without the password, without all my contacts and i cant talk to my friends which i will never meet again. I had to make a new account and try to reach (which is really difficult) all my friends from scratch…
I need to hack my old hotmail account password back… Can anyone help me please? my lost password hotmail is: djvirtualjay@hotmail.com

Hey,
So, my boyfriend is insane and, worse, he’s a hacker. So, he’s always hacking into my e-mail account I guess to see if I’m talking to someone he doesn’t want me talking to. I’m wondering if there is something I can do to better protect my gmail account. I don’t understand how he keeps doing it b/c I change my password ALL the time. It’s really ridiculous. If you could help me out that would be great!

I NEED ACCESS TO MY GIRLFRIENDS EMAIL ACCT. Gmail, and her Yahoo. This is VERY serious. This is over custody of my child, not some lovers/suspicious/cheating spat.
If you can help, I can PAY!!
Many Thanks,
