Gmail Autosave
Gmail Autosave,
originally uploaded by sgd.

Ever been typing an email message and suddenly its simply all gone.

It only ever seems to happen with the really long ones, but anyway now there is a solution.

There is a greasemonkey user script which will automatically save the one that you are writing every so often. Note that like all greasemonkey scripts firefox and the greasemonkey extension are required — both absolutely free of course)

There is a another script too called the Humane Gmail Autosave but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be compatible with the latest version of Gmail. Like what you find with the script — get a whole load more at the full database.

// Update: Gmail have added their own autosave. It doesn’t seem to do anything though.

//Update 2: Some days after Gmail announced the Auto Save, my account has been enabled. It seems to save as soon as you have finished writing. It is fairly neat.
