So everyone knows Google released their IM System today based on Jabber. The client is a bit low on features and the audio isn’t great.
More on this when they start talking with more jabber servers, till then it’s Just Another Jabber Server. I want to run a corporate Jabber server with my own security policy and encrypted links, but people should have the option to speak to Google Talk users etc if they wish.
What’s more interesting is that they’ve recently allowed you to set your own From address on gmail, this is great news and something I would have thought would get more press.
Just click Settings -> Accounts and there should be an option to add more From addresses.
If you then compose a mail you get to choose the From address. It is pretty nifty but does not change the envelope address, just the From header so its not 100% ideal but I can understand why they did it that way.
One step closer to being able to use gmail as a primary mail interface.
