Did you know that it's possible to create a beautiful email with just one click from your browser? EmailThis lets you save a link or text version of a website to your clipboard. You then paste it into a new email message where it will be converted back to HTML. This means you never have to open another tab again when reading an article on a site like Reddit or Facebook. It also makes it easier to share articles via social media because they're no longer cluttered up with unnecessary links.
I love using MailChimp, but their free plan doesn't offer all the features we need. If you use Google Drive, which does provide some basic sharing options, you may not want to pay $10/month for more than 10GB of storage space, especially if you don't use other services like Dropbox. For me, the best solution was to find an alternative tool to help manage our newsletters without paying extra money.
In the past, I've used both Trello and Inbox by Gmail. However, neither of them allow you to download a copy of the entire email so you can keep track of everything you receive over time. With EmailThis, you can easily export every single email you get from a given domain. There's nothing else out there quite like it.
Yes, actually. Many websites now support "Read Later" buttons at the bottom of each article. After clicking these, you'll usually get prompted to add the URL to a bookmarking service such as Pocket, Instapaper or Readability, etc. These tools let you access older articles online whenever you want -- whether you're connected to Wi-Fi or not.
If you ever forget what you were going to write about next week, simply go to your favorite bookmarks folder and choose an old article. The beauty of this method is that you don't have to worry about losing anything important. Just remember to remove the link after you finish writing whatever it is you came across on the internet.
The easiest way to check your email account is probably through your phone app. But sometimes it's hard to find something specific buried deep inside thousands of messages. Or maybe you prefer to scroll through your mail instead of opening multiple tabs. Luckily, EmailThis allows you to quickly search through your entire mailbox.
Simply enter the name of someone who works for a company whose emails you frequently forward to yourself. Then select Search & Open All Emails From Domain... and hit Enter. When you do, you should see all of those people's emails listed below. Click on whichever person you'd most like to contact. And presto! Your inbox is empty again.
There are three major components of an email address: recipient(s), sender and subject line. Here's a quick overview of what you can expect to find in each section:
Recipient: Most often, you'll only see the first part of this field -- either a username or full email address. Sometimes, however, you might notice a plus sign (+). That indicates that the user has requested to be notified of future communications. Another option is @ followed by a number indicating the total amount of unread emails.
Sender: Usually, you'll only see the last four digits of this field. What you won't typically see is the full email address. Instead, it would look similar to username@domainname.com. As long as you recognize the organization's domain name, you should have no trouble finding them.
Subject Line: This is the most exciting piece of information here. Not only will you see the actual title of the email, but you'll also find additional details about its contents within parentheses.
Here's an example: John Smith (@gmail.com ) sent you an email titled "Why did you leave?" (It made us sad.)
You can always hover over the brackets to bring up a pop-up window showing more detailed info about each element.
These days, many users aren't aware of how much of an impact formatting plays in determining whether or not a particular email gets opened. While it's true that certain styles can make a difference, there's still plenty of room for improvement. To put things in perspective, here's a brief rundown of the different kinds of formats that you'll encounter:
HTML format: This includes plain text, tables and images. A lot of modern browsers automatically convert HTML files into a variety of other formats, including PDF, DOCX and XLSX. But if you really want to see exactly what's being transmitted between two machines, you should opt for the original source code.
Markdown: This is a popular type of markup language designed specifically for creating simple documents, like blog posts or notes stored in GitHub repositories. The idea behind Markdown is to strip away all extraneous elements while retaining the essential ones. Unfortunately, this comes with a few drawbacks. First off, it isn't supported by all email clients. Second, it's difficult to translate into other languages. Finally, it requires a bit of technical knowledge for anyone hoping to implement it themselves.
Tables: Tables are great for displaying data visually, but they can also cause problems if you try to import them directly into Microsoft Word. Some email providers block them outright.
Images: Images can range from GIFs to JPEG photos, but they tend to work better when embedded rather than attached. They're generally smaller too, which saves bandwidth. Unfortunately, email attachments are notoriously unreliable. Depending on the size of the file, you could lose some image quality along the way.
As you can tell, email itself is far from perfect. Fortunately, there are ways around all of these issues.
EmailThis is a fantastic extension that gives you complete control over your incoming correspondence. No matter if you're looking to cut down on spam or organize your inbox, this is definitely worth checking out.

Download: EmailThis for Chrome | EmailThis for Firefox (Free)
If you are tired of scrolling through the endless lists on your favorite websites trying to figure out which message or article you're looking for, then Email This may be what you need. It allows you to save articles, videos, images, and other content right into an email so you can easily access them again. It also allows you to add notes to each one. The best part about it though is that you don't have to leave your current browser window to retrieve those saved items -- they will automatically appear in your inbox when you open up the email containing them. You'll never miss another great news story or video ever again!
The process couldn't be simpler either. Just click the icon to create an email with whatever text, image, or video is currently visible on the screen, and choose where you want to store it.
You can use it with just about every website, but we've tested it extensively with Google News, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Imgur, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Evernote, Dropbox, Amazon, Netflix, IMDB, eBay, Foursquare, LinkedIn, and many more. Each time you visit these sites, your new Email This button appears at the bottom of the page. When you see something interesting, simply hit the "Send this" button and get ready to receive all the goodness that site has to offer delivered straight to your inbox.
But here's the catch: since Email This relies on JavaScript being enabled, you won't be able to use it on sites such as Wordpress or Tumblr unless you install the latest version of WordPress or switch themes to disable JS completely. But there are plenty of other ways to make sure everything works. For example, you could install TamperMonkey Firefox add-on to enable CSS injection, allowing you to turn off JS entirely.
Here's how to set up Email This (for Firefox):
Install the Add-ons Manager plugin for Firefox [No Longer Available]. Then go to Tools -> Add-Ons << Add-Ons Manager and select Install New.... Click Next and Finish. Go back to the menu bar and click File " Save Page As... Choose a location somewhere convenient like Desktop and give the file name a descriptive title, e.g. "Email This". Now close all tabs except the tab with the article you'd like to email this way. Open up the new file named "Email This", and copy the URL from the address bar. Go back to the original page and paste the link into the box below the email creation field. Hit Send and wait for the confirmation email to arrive in your inbox. If you prefer using Chrome instead of Firefox, follow these instructions (it should work exactly the same).
To remove the code from the page, go to the source code section of the page and delete the line of code starting with <!--[if lt IE 9]>.
Now let's look at how easy it is to locate people's personal information in public domains without getting caught doing so.
When you first start using Email This, you might notice that after hitting the Send This button, nothing happens. That's because it doesn't actually send anything until you open up the received email. To check whether the recipient opened the email, scroll down in their inbox to find it. Once you confirm that it was indeed sent successfully, you'll see a little envelope pop up next to the subject heading showing that the email has been retrieved successfully.
If you still haven't seen the email yet, try refreshing the page before sending it again. Sometimes the server takes a while to deliver the email properly, especially during peak hours.
There are two main methods used to identify private email addresses: DNS Lookup and IP Address Lookups. Both require root permissions on your computer.
DNS Lookup - Simply enter a domain name into a search engine and press Enter. Your results show you the owner of that particular hostname, along with its host ID number. Host names are usually written in lowercase letters only, and sometimes include numbers too. So if you search for www.google.com, you would expect to see the following result:
Host Name: google.com
IP Address: 69.63.196.14
Host ID Number: 14282466
For more details on how to perform a DNS lookup, check out our guide on How to Find Someone’s Private Email Using Their Domain Name.
IP Address Lookup - There are several different tools available on the internet that allow you to discover who owns a specific IP address. A few examples of these tools include Whois, WebWhoIs, PublicDomainRegistrar, Whatismyipaddress.com, and ipinfo.io. All of them return similar results, although not always identical ones. They basically tell you what country the host belongs to, what type of network it uses, and the actual IP address itself.
As long as you're careful to keep your searches anonymous, both methods are legal and ethical. However, we recommend against performing them on large networks due to potential bandwidth usage issues. Also note that it's quite possible that neither method will work for certain hosts, depending on the configuration settings of your router/ISP.
Yes. With Email This, it's simple enough to grab the email address of anyone visiting a given website. We tested it with hundreds of well known social media accounts, including Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Flickr, Vine, SoundCloud, Dribbble, and others. Here's how to do it:
Open the email client of your choice and compose a normal email. Paste in the URL of the page that contains the person's profile picture, username, bio, etc., and hit Send. Wait a couple minutes for the email to arrive. Upon receiving it, you can immediately share his contact info via email, messaging apps, phone call, Skype, or other services.
After creating an email using Email This, you can browse and search through it whenever you want. From within the email, you can navigate around and filter through messages based on date range, sender, and keywords.
Also, you'll probably enjoy browsing through old emails stored in your Sent folder. These can be accessed by clicking View " All Mail and selecting a date range. The older the mail, the fewer options you have to search through it.
In addition to viewing archived emails, you can forward selected messages to yourself or another user. To do this, hover over the email message you wish to forward, highlight it, and click Forward Message under the Reply option.
Finally, there's no shortage of third party email clients that support reading HTML files directly inside the app. Some popular choices include Inbox by Gmail (Free) and Trello (Pro). While both these programs come with built-in support for saving links to webpages, they lack the ability to convert HTML documents into an email format.

Have you tried Email This already? Which websites did you use it with most often? Let us know in the comments below!
Chrome extensions are an amazing way to add extra functionality to your browser. One such feature we love is the ability to grab text on a page and then use it elsewhere. A great example of this would be taking a screenshot of a website with a tool like Screenshot or Snipshot and using it somewhere else. This functionality works well enough but if you have more than one site open at a time, you’ll find yourself having to copy-paste those snippets over and over again – not ideal when there’s so much content out there online.
A new Chrome extension called EmailThis has been designed specifically to solve these issues. It grabs all the text from each webpage you visit and puts it into a single email which you can read later when you’re offline. The result is something similar to reading a book where only the relevant bits were highlighted while everything else was left untouched. You could easily imagine this being useful for people who want to keep track of what they need to remember from their browsing sessions.
The extension also allows users to create ‘to-do lists’ from your webpages. If you're looking for ways to organize your life, check out our article "9 Apps That Will Help Boost Your Productivity". We've put together some related articles too - here's how to increase productivity and save money with Microsoft Excel and other apps.
So let’s take a look at how this awesome little app works and whether it will help you become more productive.
You don't actually have to install anything to start receiving emails via EmailThis. Simply click on the icon next to the URL bar and select Settings & More Options. Then under 'General' choose Manage Emails From Web Pages.
Now whenever you browse to a page with lots of information, you'll see a small notification appear next to the address bar letting you know that the page contains text ready to be sent to your inbox. Clicking on the link sends the full message straight away.
If you'd prefer to receive just part of a webpage rather than the whole thing, you can right-click anywhere within the message itself and select Extract Text Only to pull up the selected section. Alternatively, you can double-tap the screen to zoom in and then tap Select All and Copy to automatically highlight every word on the page before sending them off.
To stop getting notifications about certain websites, simply go back to Settings & More Options and uncheck the boxes next to those sites. Note that you won't be able to access settings for individual messages after installing the extension.
As mentioned above, clicking on the icon next to the URL bar brings up a simple popup informing you about the contents of the current page. If you wish to permanently delete the account associated with said page, follow these steps:
Click Delete Account. You may be asked to confirm the deletion. To continue past this step, enter your admin password.
After confirming the deletion, you'll be taken directly to the login prompt. As always, if you forget your username/password you can reset it through the same option shown below.
We've already covered how you can disable notifications for specific domains but if you want to completely remove the default email client from Chrome altogether, head to chrome://settings/extensions and deactivate MailSender. You might choose to re-enable it later should you decide to switch browsers.
There are two options available depending on whether you want to make sure that everything goes smoothly if you ever decide to leave Google behind entirely. First of all, you can opt for Remove My Data instead. This will wipe out your entire profile data including search history, saved passwords, cookies, etc.. However, by selecting Keep my data, you'll still be able to log in to your accounts and sync them across devices.
Alternatively, if you find Google services aren't really necessary, you can uninstall them manually by going to chrome://apps. Here you'll find links to all of the installed applications and you can either Uninstall or Disable them. This will prevent future updates from appearing in your toolbar and you'll no longer have access to the various tools.
In addition, you can turn off the Sync service which syncs your bookmarks, passwords, etc... between multiple devices. Go to chrome://sync-internals and set both Enable Syncing and Allow Third Party Access to False.
Finally, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try removing the Chromium project and its dependencies. But please note that doing this means you'll lose support for many features, including the ability to run unsigned code.

Have you tried EmailThis yet? What do you think of it? Let us know down in the comments below!
How does it work
EmailThis solves all these problems by letting you send the selected text (or image) to your inbox as a cleanly formatted plaintext message.
You don’t need to know how to code either because everything is done for you behind the scenes through our simple yet powerful API which makes adding new features easy. With just a few clicks, you can create custom actions called “email snippets”. These will allow you to select some text on a webpage and format it into something that looks good. You can also choose where it gets sent too, whether it goes straight to Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook etc.
The beauty of it all is that once you install the extension, it automatically picks up every snippet of text available in a webpage – no matter what language they were written in – and starts formatting them to make them look nice before sending them off to wherever you want.
For instance, say you wanted to take a picture of the current weather forecast in London, paste the text into an email and get it delivered directly to your inbox. All you need to do is click the ‘+ New Action… button found below the list of currently installed actions.
Click the "Create" link next to "Send HTML". Select "Text only", enter the URL of the page you're viewing, set its destination to "Inbox - Gmail" and click save.
Now whenever you see that specific bit of text on the page, right-click it and select "Copy Text". Then go back to your Inbox and click "Show Original" under the subject heading. It'll now show you exactly what was copied from the page. If you want to edit the text further, simply double-click it and start typing away.
If you've got a lot of information to include in that single email, you can always split the text across multiple emails instead. Simply
