I had no idea that gmail had shortcuts

You can always see them in the footer when you login to your gmail account.
They have many versions like standard , lite.

Never had any problems with Gmail. And i like it - easy and fast AJAX interface, big mailbox, awesome spam filters - what not to like?

[amitpatel_3001]

You can even get the AJAX features with yahoo using a Firefox plugin :)

I actualy love the Gmail drive app... allows you to mount a drive letter that uses your gmail account for storage... its friggin awsome

[clvezlys]

Yeah, i agree with Case on Gdrive - makes life so easy. When i want to upload something, i jus tput it in there, without having to open Gmail, create a new letter, attach my file and then send it to myself.

I love the GDrive too. I set up a separate account to keep my files in.

Thanks for that loooong list of tips. Wonder how long it took to compile it!

[Case]

Only thing is i wish that you could access the files without the software...

[clvezlys]

Well, you can. They are in your inbox after uploading. Or am i forgeting something?

[Hoomamooma]

I've been using Gmail since around when it first came out and so far I have been pretty happy with it.

The only problem I've had is sometimes when attaching a file, even a very small one, it shows a loading message but it never loads. I've left it, watched a movie, came back and it was still loading so i just quit out of it.

[Case]

yea gmail wont handle large file atachments kinda dumb but mkay

[azn1art]

I don't think any other email providers do either... :/
The only time u have unlimited is if it's yours.. like me :D

[Hoomamooma]

Well, like I said, it happend even on small files, I don't know why though. It's a pretty rare thing.

[Case]

never had it happenn on small files

[azn1art]

Never had it happen to me either... especially for small files... internet may have cut out while it uploaded?

[vousami]

The main reason I use it is for group emails - I'm on a lot of yahoo groups regarding my Paint Shop Pro habit *insert twitch twitch here* and you have no choice but be on individual mail because of the sheer number of files that come through - the only drawback I have seen to it is that it doesn't move on to the next email if you press delete... it goes back to your inbox!

[Case]

PSP boooo Photoshop FTW!

[Hoomamooma]

The GIMP FTW!!! I'm too cheap for that stuff and even though I could stealing it is wrong!

[Case]

Gimp is awsome i wont lie specialyy since theres no goddam nix version of photoshop OMG die

[vousami]

I actually didn't steal my copy of PSP - I have legit copies (ok somewhere around here I have 8 & 9 which are legit 10 I know where it is) cause they were bday gifts for me from my sig other ...

[Case]

I was never a psp fan i dont know..
