1 day agoAI Is Now Deciding Which Emails Get Seen. Here's How to Stay in the Inbox in the Gemini Era
Email remains a dominant communication tool, but AI is changing how messages are prioritized and seen in inboxes.
If you use WhatsApp for your personal and professional messaging, it can quickly become pretty busy. It also means that any professional contacts can see your photos, status updates, and where you are. To keep things separate its a good idea to use a different phone number for each, but having two numbers doesn't mean you'll need two phones.
Most of us treat our inbox like a storage unit. We open an email, think 'I'll deal with this later,' and move on. Before we know it, we're buried. People with clean inboxes get that every email is actually a decision waiting to be made. Delete it? Respond now? Schedule for later? Delegate it? They don't let decisions pile up because they know that unmade decisions drain mental energy.
So, you've finally done it. No more putting it off, pushing through the grind, waiting for a more opportune time once things settle down. Alas, you've mustered up the gall to cash in on your paid vacation time. Now you have several days strung together to travel, rest, or do whatever the heck your heart desires. I love that for you.
When was the last time you opened your contact app? Do you even bother with it? If you use email, chances are you also use your contact app -- perhaps without realizing it. However, not all contact apps are created equal. Some contact apps are very basic, while others are overly complicated. And then there's the sweet spot -- those apps with just the right number of features wrapped up in a well-designed GUI. Are you ready for this? Let's get connected.
Web browsers are among the top targets for today's cybercriminals, playing a role in nearly half of all security incidents, new research reveals. According to Palo Alto Networks' 2026 Global Incident Response report, an analysis of 750 major cyber incidents recorded last year across 50 countries found that, in total, 48% of cybercrime events involved browser activity. Individuals trying to connect to the web, including business employees, are exposed to cyberthreats on a daily basis.
In a service alert spotted by BleepingComputer, Microsoft revealed that the glitch started on February 5 and has been preventing some Exchange Online users from sending and receiving emails. "Some users' legitimate email messages are being marked as phish and quarantined in Exchange Online," Microsoft said in the service alert. "We've determined that the URLs associated with these email messages are incorrectly marked as phish and quarantined in Exchange Online due to ever-evolving criteria aimed at identifying suspicious email messages, as spam and phishing techniques have become more sophisticated in avoiding detection."
