Today I added a new feature to the “IITG webmail chrome extension” – Auto Login feature. Now you can save your username and password in the options page of the extension and enable auto-login. After enabling auto-login feature, whenever you open http://webmail.iitg.ernet.in, the extension will automatically redirect you to your inbox.

Check out the screenshots at the extension page: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ljfkohgffehmmfnmghdlbceidmddgdob?hl=en-us

All those who are already using this extension can update it by clicking “Update extensions now” button in chrome://extensions page. New users can directly install the extension at: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ljfkohgffehmmfnmghdlbceidmddgdob?hl=en-us

Keep pouring in your feedback by posting comments.

I wrote about a chrome extension in my yesterday’s post. 1st and 2nd year students of IITG have different mail servers than Disang. They won’t be able to use the extension. So, I updated the extension. Now one can set the default mail server and save the option. Now, the extension works for all the mail servers.

Those who have already installed the extension can update it by clicking on the button “Update Extensions Now” button in the Chrome Extension page. And those who have not yet installed the extension can install the updated version directly from : https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ljfkohgffehmmfnmghdlbceidmddgdob?hl=en

IITG webmail accounts are hosted on different servers for students, staff and faculty. So every time I open the page – http://webmail.iitg.ernet.in, I have to change the server to Disang. I wrote a simple chrome plugin to do this automatically, every time I visit this page.

It is simple to use. You need to have the latest version of Google chrome installed. Once you have it, just click on this link: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ljfkohgffehmmfnmghdlbceidmddgdob and then press “Install” button. And you are done. Now open the webmail page – http://webmail.iitg.ernet.in and check out the selected server.

Send me feedback by commenting to this blog or at the plugin page.

Well, Google has already released the “Chrome” Browser for Windows Vista and XP

Download it here

I don’t know why Google doesn’t release products for Linux

Waiting for Chrome (Linux Version)
