Google rules: RSS feeds for email activity
Micro Persuasion: Gmail Adds Atom Feeds

Gmail has added Atom web feeds, a format that's akin to RSS. The feeds include a summary of each new message in your Google email. See screen grabs. In addition, the service rolled out a more robust contact interface that nicely lists all your contacts the related messages that live in your archive as well as the ability to forward your messages to any other email account.

Completely removing Chapura KeySuite -- recovering from an Outlook Profile change
Synchronize Outlook with Palm OS handheld...
KeySuite has worked much better for me than about 6 previous solutions, but I really scrambled it when I had to change Outlook Profiles (delete old, create new) on one machine. Back to the nightmares of duplicate tasks, sync errors, etc. Problem was KeySuite 3.2 didn't quite manage the Profile change -- it "thought" I was synchronizing with two profiles on two machines. It actually tried to handle this, but sometimes it got severely confused.
Problem was, I couldn't make KeySuite "forget" about the sync settings. Turned out they were in the "Key ..." folders in my Palm data folder. (Worse problem -- I had TWO Palm data folders and chose the wrong one to work on ...). So deleting those allowed me to start over properly.
These full uninstall directions are more complete than the ones on Chapura's site, but the key step is removing the KeySuite folder from Outlook and removing the above mentioned data folders.
