There might be a simpler way but that's what I found to work. The first line "Name, Given Name..." should be there (maybe one can specify only the entries that one states there).

Email

Our emails are:

These are the defaults, regardless of other directions you may find to get in touch with us (?!)

Fp.laussy.jpg My first email ever was fabrice.laussy@goules.nat.fr.

It later become laussy@nat.fr, and then I passed through something like a dozen of other directions, free, yahoo, univ-bp, sheffield, uam, soton, tum, uam again, etc.

My first email linked to a so-called permanent (?!) position is F.Laussy@wlv.ac.uk. Time will show if that is more permanent than the others.

Julia and Luz's emails were opened on 21 March (2021).

Gmail

Gmail.png is great (as is most of Google) and this is the provider we use. Fp.laussy.jpg I run it since 27 February (2007).

To make shortcuts, visit contacts.google.com & create a label there. If importing a large number of emails, create a csv file like the following and import it:

Name,Given Name,Additional Name,Family Name,Yomi Name,Given Name Yomi,Additional Name Yomi,Family Name Yomi,Name Prefix,Name Suffix,Initials,Nickname,Short Name,Maiden Name,Birthday,Gender,Location,Billing Information,Directory Server,Mileage,Occupation,Hobby,Sensitivity,Priority,Subject,Notes,Language,Photo,Group Membership,E-mail 1 - Type,E-mail 1 - Value
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ::: shortcut-name,* ,first.email@gmail.com	  
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ::: shortcut-name,* ,second.email@hotmail.com 

There might be a simpler way but that's what I found to work. The first line "Name, Given Name..." should be there (maybe one can specify only the entries that one states there).

Backups

See this link and/or read this blog post on how to make space in Gmail.

Links

It used to be simple to link to a gmail email, but now you need to work your way through. Namely copy this bookmarklet and apply it to the Show Original email.

Labs

If (when) a Labs feature breaks, and you're having trouble loading your inbox, there's an escape hatch. Use https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0.

Others

Beyond the web interface, which is okay although not that great, it is useful to have a more powerful application. We like Kmail, the KDE default. For years now we have been using the web application directly, which is good enough.
