DashMail

 

Now you can quickly send emails from your Gmail, Yahoo! or other mail account!

On the back of the widget you can enter your account details - this can be as simple as selecting, say, Gmail and then entering your Gmail address and Gmail password. Don't worry - the geeks among us can still enter specific server details (hosts, port numbers and other such guff).

Sending an email is as easy as typing in the email address of the person you want to email, followed by the subject and message. Click the DashMail button and off it goes!

As an added bonus there is a list of the last 5 people you've emailed stashed away in the dropdown to the right of the 'to' box making it nice and easy to contact those people you email most often. Same thing goes for the 'subject' box for that matter.

What are you waiting for? Go forth and DashMail!
