I think gmail has a bit of a learning curve, but those that take the time to learn the basics love it. Labels are just like folders, except that you can apply more than one label to the same email. This in itself is a glorious thing. I have a label for friends, one for finances, and what if I receive a message dealing with both? it gets both labels! plus you don’t have to label something and just archive it away.

the keyboard shortcuts are a huge time saver too. I don’t have much of a spam problem at all, yahoo mail is far worse for me spam-wise.

I’m not a fan either. I use it for my blog e-mail and it drives me nuts!

Gmail is great.
The service is feature-rich and has a clean look.
Most of the spam gets eaten by the filter and the search function is just wonderful.

I can’t stand GMail either, though I keep my account for giving an email to people I think will spam me. The message threading feature drives me up the wall! I usually just go in through Portal and used text-based everything. No popups, no buttons, no mess. But on the other hand, if you do like Gmail, Google is in general a very environmentally-responsible company. Just don’t obsessively archive everything!

I haven’t gotten the kick of gmail yet either Vanessa. Like you I have several other email accounts and don’t find it easy. I guess I just haven’t taken the time to get to know the big “g”. From the sounds of all the praise I guess I should though.

Weird. I’ve found Gmail to be the most user-friendly and lest-spammy of all freemails I’ve tried (a short list including Yahoo and Hotmail). I don’t understand why everyone deosnt’ love Gmail, but now I guess it’s just one of those “different strokes” kind of things…

what is this gchat everyone’s talking about?? i’m kind of torn with gmail. i like that you can see all the e-mails in a convo, but i can NEVER find the compose button. i always look for it and then give up and just do “reply” and then change the e-mail addy in the send field. i don’t like yahoo, ’cause things keep ending up in my bulk folder for no reason. what’s bulk? and i never use my u of t e-mail. i don’t think i’ve ever signed onto it. i’m a traditional gal. still using my old hotmail account i got when i was like 14, with a reference to a rhcp lyric…

For the reasons above, I also LOVE gmail.

I find it very user friendly. And gchat is fun. Plus I can blog, access my blog list, and check my email all from the same login. Sweet.

Arduous - to delete one email from a chain of messages - click on the email you want to delete, then click on the arrow pointing down (in the upper right corner). It’ll give you a list of options, including “delete this message.”
