A detailed overview of POP, IMAP and GMAIL -
http://www.macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/6702 The 12 steps to cure e-mail addiction
- Admit that e-mail is managing you. Let go of your need to check e-mail every ten minutes.
- Commit to keeping your inbox empty.
- Create files where you can put inbox material that needs to be acted on.
- Make broad headings for your filing system so that you have to spend less time looking for filed material.
- Deal immediately with any e-mail that can be handled in two minutes or less but create a file for mails that will take longer.
- Set a target date to empty your in box. Don't spend more than an hour at a time doing it.
- Turn off automatic send/receive.
- Establish regular times to review your e-mail.
- Involve others in conquering your addiction.
- Reduce the amount of e-mail you receive.
- Save time by using only one subject per e-mail; delete extra comments from forwarded e-mail, and make the subject line detailed.
- Celebrate taking a new approach to e-mail.
I think 5 and 6 is useful...

https://www.inside.com.tw[..]5-google-mygopen-factcheck-give-you-tips The power of the press, such as it is, is like the power of academic scholars, scientific researchers, and Supreme Court Justices. It is not backed by force. It rests on faith: the belief that these are groups of people dedicated to pursuing the truth without fear or favor. Once they disclaim that function, they will be perceived in the way everyone else is now perceived, as spinning for gain or status. -

Another notice about shuffling collection with random order -
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001008.html with detailed analysis-
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001015.html unique => not statistically independent and not uniformly distributed,
cannot be generated by normal Random Number Generator.
You may consider way like shuffling (for example, put 100 integer into an
ArrayList, calls Collections.shuffle(), get the numbers sequentially).
Most of the time unique random number can be replaced by hashCode() of
something because hash seldom (at order of magnitude 10^-100 for MD5) crash,
if you don't require it to be "ALWAYS" unique, you may consider hashCode()
as well.
