A wonderful app is created by CloudMagic Inc. naming CloudMagic. It is an email application that lets us know information about the person who emailed us, his information will include his job title, workplace, location, homepage, and social profiles on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. This wonderful email application has till now aided 4 million users who receive a lot of email from people they don’t know.

Its services is similar to services given by LinkedIn’s Rapportive or newly launched Connect from Clearbit for desktop email. Size of the app is 25 MB. It requires android version 4.0 and above.
Storing and managing so much details about individual is challenging task. Unlike the desktop Gmail add-ons, there’s no big sidebar area to take over with the added info. CloudMagic do not display all detail's of sender on the screen of original message instead CloudMagic displays a more “subtle” heads up, the company explains.
Whenever you receive an email from some unknown, it provides a link "Know More" by clicking on it you can know about person and small summary about the person is provided just below the email message. In addition, sender's profile can be access any time just by clicking sender's profile picture from inbox.
Rapportive do not show details about person's company. This shortcoming of Rapportive is overcome by CloudMagic. Pop card with sender’s information can be flip over to know about sender's company. That will display company description, employee headcount, website link, and links to the company on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList, if applicable.
Sender Profile is definitely a great upgrade to have, but it’s not a free one Sender Profile is only available as an in-app purchase for $24.99 per year. That’s a sizable enough price point to potentially slow adoption among more casual users. However, for those who live in an inbox filled with emails from unknowns, it’s a worthy upgrade.

Your Email account may be in danger as security experts had confirmed that credential (user names and passwords) of millions of email account are being traded in Russia's criminal underworld.
It is confirmed by them that out of 272.3 million stolen account details include majority of users of Mail.ru (popular mail service of Russia) and smaller fractions of Google (24 millions), Yahoo (40 millions) and Microsoft email users (33 millions), said Alex Holden, founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security.
It is confirmed by them that out of 272.3 million stolen account details include majority of users of Mail.ru (popular mail service of Russia) and smaller fractions of Google (24 millions), Yahoo (40 millions) and Microsoft email users (33 millions), said Alex Holden, founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security.
This security breach came in notice after Hold Security researchers found a young Russian hacker bragging in an online forum that he had collected and was ready to give away a far larger number of stolen credentials that ended up totalling 1.17 billion records.
After eliminating duplicates, Holden said, 57 million Mail.ru accounts and around tens of millions of three big email providers accounts- Gmail, Microsoft and Yahoo, plus hundreds of thousands of accounts at German and Chinese email are in danger .
"This information is potent. It is floating around in the underground and this person has shown he's willing to give the data away to people who are nice to him," said Holden, the former chief security officer at U.S. brokerage R.W. Baird. "These credentials can be abused multiple times," he said.
Hackers know users cling to favourite passwords, resisting admonitions to change credentials regularly and make them more complex. It's why attackers reuse old passwords found on one account to try to break into other accounts of the same user.
After being informed of the potential breach of email credentials, Mail.ru said in a statement "We are now checking, whether any combinations of usernames/passwords match users' e-mails and are still active."
A Microsoft spokesman said stolen online credentials was an unfortunate reality. "Microsoft has security measures in place to detect account compromise and requires additional information to verify the account owner and help them regain sole access."
Yahoo and Google did not respond about this data breach.

Yahoo Messenger has just launched a new version with a feature every web user has been dying for: the ability to take back messages. In fact, the new messenger, which is now available for mobile, web and on Yahoo Mail, will let you unsend text messages as well as photo .In other words, Yahoo Messenger looks like Facebook Messenger, or WeChat, or WhatsApp, or Viber, or Line… You get the point, do we need yet another messaging app?
Yahoo isn’t a newcomer in the messaging space. The company first launched Yahoo Messenger in 1998 as an alternative to AIM. It was a desktop instant messaging app. But now, it’s a brand new world when it comes to messaging, and Yahoo has rebooted Yahoo Messenger.
New Yahoo Messenger apps were released smartphones or tablets powered by Apple or Android software, as were versions of the service tailored for use on the Web or on desktop computers.
"Yahoo decided it was time to build a ground-up rewrite of the platform that was completely modern and prepares Yahoo to ship really disruptive innovative features," Yahoo Messenger senior director of product management, Austin Shoemaker, said while giving AFP a look at the platform.
