Get the Most Out of Backpack

Hello World,

I am betting that most of you aren’t aware of all the things that you can do with Backpack.  Backpack’s primary purpose is to assist users with large files to store and transport within the Mail2World environment.   But Backpack does have some features that not everyone is aware of and hopefully by the end of this post you can take advantage of these features for your personal or business needs.

 
Backpack stores large files such as images, videos, and even larger then usual text documents. Once you upload the files in Backpack you can organize them in the folders you create, view them within the Backpack interface, or even share those files with a friend via email.  If the files are already uploaded to your account it makes sending attachments a much faster and simpler project.

While I am sure you are all familiar with uploading and file folders. I’m almost certain that some of you aren’t aware of some of these Backpack features:

• Pictures can be viewed in a slideshow format
• View photos as thumbnail  images
• Video and music files can also be uploaded and organized

As you can see, Mail2world provides features that allow you to make your emailing experience more efficient and productive.  Who really has the time to sit and wait for files to upload?  With Backpack, files upload at an extremely fast rate.  

So the next time you are in your Mail2World email account give Backpack a test drive.  You will not be disappointed at how efficient and portable you will become.

Happy backpacking world!

Best,

SMS Alerts

Hello World,

Did you know that with every platinum email account with Mail2World you can have Email2SMS alerts sent to your phone? Each time you receive an email you get an alert text message saying your received a new email. This can come in handy when you need to be in contact with someone who you don’t want to give your phone number to (hehe).

 

Here are the steps for setting SMS alerts to your phone:

1. Click Options in the right upper corner of your Mail2World interface.
2. Click Create an Alert.
3. Set any conditions you would like or set an alert to go off for every incoming message.
4. Set the drop-down menu to alert you via phone.
5. Enter your mobile carrier’s SMS email address that is unique to you. (E.g. AT&T: your10digitnumber@cingularme.com).
6. Click Save.

You will now receive an SMS alert each time you receive a message or alerts that meet the conditions you set. Please keep in mind that only platinum users have this feature available to them.

Hopefully, some of you will find this unique feature very useful.

Best,
-A.B.
