Have you ever come across a situation where you don’t have
access to the Internet but can send or receive email messages? With
email and no Internet, how do you read websites and blogs or check the
current stock prices, or find what’s the top story on CNN
homepage.
Well, you can do a lot of interesting things over email without a
web connection - you can read any webpages over email, maintain your
task list, convert documents, upload photo and videos, get dictionary
meanings of words and more.
Just make sure that you have added the following address to your email address book:
10. pdf@koolwire.com - You have an Office document
or a picture on your computer or mobile phone that you wish to convert
into a PDF file. Just email that file an email attachment to the above
address and it will soon return to your Inbox as a PDF file.
9. ..@photos.flickr.com - Flickr provides a unique email upload address here
- you can send your photographs to this email address as attachments
and they’ll show up in Flick Photo gallery almost instantly. The
subject line of email becomes the photo’s title while the body of
the email becomes the photo’s description.
8. e@xpenser.com
- This is like filling data in a travel spreadsheet through email. You
can use this address to gather and record your travel expenses while on
the road.
7. go@blogger.com - You can use this address to
post pictures on any Blogger hosted blog. Any picture that you send to
this email address will appear as a new blog post in your mobile blog.
You can also use this service to post regular text entries to your
Blogspot blog. In that case, the “Send to Blogger” email
address is available under Blogger Dashboard.
6. upload@upload.slideshare.net - If you have (one
or more) PowerPoint Presentations and PDF documents that you quickly
want to share with friends, just email the files to Slideshare and
they’ll instantly turn them into a web slideshow.
5. …@mms.youtube.com - YouTube member can create an MMS profile here - if you have a video clip on your mobile phone or comptuer but no access to YouTube website, you can easily upload that video file to YouTube through that email address.
4. pdf2txt@adobe.com - Send a PDF document to this
email address as an attachment and it will come back as a plain text
file. Handy when your don’t have a PDF viewer to open the PDF
document. Alternatively, you can send the PDF file to pdf2html@adobe.com for conversion to HTML format.
3. ..@prod.writely.com - Google Docs provides a unique email address here
- you can upload your documents, spreadsheets and presentations to
Google Docs through this address and read them on your mobile phone
using the just launched Google Docs mobile at docs.google.com/m.
2. …@rmilk.com
- When you signup for Remember The Milk, you are assigned a unique
email address. Emails sent to this special address are automatically
converted into tasks and appear in your Inbox. Click on Settings ->

unfinished tasks and getting things done while on the move.
1. wsmith@wordsmith.org - Get the dictionary
definition and synonyms of any word by sending a blank email to this
email address. Make the subject line as: define myword
And now the most useful email address that will help you read webpages through email without requiring a web connection:
0. www@web2mail.com - Send an email with the URL of
the web page in the Subject field (e.g. www.cnn.com) and you’ll
soon find a copy of that web page in your Inbox. A perfect option when
there’s no Internet access in the area or access is restricted (for instance, you want to read the BBC homepage in China).
Another similar service is www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it
- it will also fetch websites for you through email though in this
case, the site address should go in the body of the email message.
