For the guy who said it’s BETA… well it’s 2006 and the thing is still BETA. Finish it already, but oh wait they won’t because it is riddled with bugs.

And also to brainwar, who said he didn’t want some large company reading his emails and blah blah. A company like google has better things to do then read the millions of emails that go through it’s system every second. I am guessing you would rather have some small hosting company read your emails; these people actually have time to probably go through each email individually, looking for credit card numbers, ect. Your best alternative is to just buy your own dedicated server, setup a email system on it, and send away. Wait, that will cost you at least a 100$’s a month, and then there’s still the possibility of someone tapping the line outside of your server to get your email.

Oh what a screwed up world we live in, Gmail for life!

To the people who do like Yahoo Web mail, you do realize every time you send a email, yahoo tags a advertisement to your email…”it integrates nicely with Yahoo IM”, blah, blah. I use Yahoo IM and I really like it, however Yahoo Mail. It’s on the suck scale near MSN. Gmail is fair superior to almost ALL mail systems out there, and best of all it’s free. Gmail’s only competion really is Live.com which is going to replace msn’s mail program here one day. Then there may be a bit of competion, however I do see google winning this one too.

As someone who studies the I.T. industry full time I feel obliged to point out that while everyone expects perfect end products in the end the people who are making it are only human. And not are they only human but they have to work with computers and computers suck.

Another thing I’ve learnt is that different people have different experiences and preferences. My database teacher loves microsoft access… I prefer mysql.

Gmail for *me* has been the best email client I’ve had. I’ve had start, yahoo, hotmail, eudora… and various other unheard of clients. Out of all of the ones I’ve tried hotmail is the most unreliable and yahoo is one of the ugliest. I love my gmail account. Or several.

i think yahoo is the best. integrates nicely with Y! Messenger, and 1 Gig is really enough storage. gmail really sucks, there’s no buttons to delete stuff…i mean, i know it’s nice to keep all your mail, but what’s up with the “drop down” crap and “more options” crap. i don’t even like the whole “conversation” thing.

Yahoo offers 1 GIG. I haven’t deleted that much email for the past year or so….and i’m still only at 8% of the available.

in 5 years, when i’m approaching 1 gig, they’ll probably offer even more.

yahoo for life.

For some reason Gmail is slow when it comes to accessing it with a firewall and browser controls. The slow part is after I enter my username and password. Uploads and downloads are normally not a problem.

I don’t know what’s with their hard drives or connection or whatever, but occasionally I have to retry downloading a file because it paused midway. This has been happening lately.

I don’t know how you could write a message offline and then send it when you login, doesn’t that happen with all web-based mail?

About threaded “conversations” when I reply to a mail and send my attachment, the original message was lost. I expanded everything but the message was gone.

I hear the reason why Google offers labels instead of folders is because electronic-based sorting does not work like traditional sorting. I never sort anything myself :p so occasionally I do use the search function.

And finally, I want to open multiple browsers for Gmail, but for some reason Gmail wants me to just use a browser window. Very inconvenient when I want to view the draft folder and inbox at the same time.

Well, I think the verdict’s in: Gmail sucks. Not that I love microsoft. I just don’t want to feel like I’m in a time machine when I try to send somebody a (black&white!) jpeg.

Eff google. They won’t be able to Wi-Fi SF if they can’t even create a dependable web-based e-mail.

few simple steps…If someone interested feel free to ask me…
Bskplus@yahoo.com
I can tell something about the main topic…Personlly I strongly recommend
yahoo mail than gmail…I do hv MSN, Yahoo and Gmail accounts…But I felt
when im using those Yahoo is way better than gmail…I use my yahoo account
And MSN hotmail is the worst…Slow and too many rules…Yahoo will give
us 1000Mb very soon…!!!
