I applied twice before, and of course you could only get it by invitation. Then I heard recently that they were planning to go full-blown with it, and fortunately I've been able to set up an account with 'em(which I am looking forward to using). I know, Mr. Johnny Come Lately.... |

I just sent my first Gmail message a little earlier, so I'm just getting to grips with it. I deleted my Homail account. |

It kind of is, but it seems to be almost a necessity in this day and age. If one stops working, it's nice to have a backup. Also, some people have separate business and personal addresses.
In Gmail, is it possible to change the subject line of a reply?

The threaded views are definately the biggest use.
It can be a bigger pain, but that depends on if you have other things to do...which i dont. I spend all day checking my email. I need a life.

The best part of gmail is the threaded view for sure. That said, I am probably already in the double digits for number of email addresses and though I do have a gmail, I haven't found a use for it yet.

just thought i'd add that i maintained a hotmail account, even when i got my gmail account, so i could use MSN. then i relealised that you can of course make any email a .NET passport for use with MSN. say buhbye to hotmail forever! |

Ive been having thesame thing recently too. So a friend invited me to gmail, and i really like it.
When having email 'conversations' it keeps them all otgether, and shows them like a thread, i think its a really good account. I often had problems with hotmail regarding storage. I dont have a computer of y won, and so my email accounts are basically my storage.
The ads i dont even notice, its got a great search function....i just really think its a great account.
BTW, any one who has my hotmail add, im using my gmail one as a permanent account from now on, may or may not have sent you an email with the new add...its changed in my profile any how.

I have a Hotmail account, and it's been randomly cutting out on me as of late. Like, I'll keep getting "this server is too busy" messages, and it will occasionally say I don't have any mail in my inbox. Compared to that, Gmail is definitely an improvement.

Because they use the content of your emails to deliver appealing advertisements. |

I just totally abuse my mac at work along with my email account and total freedom over what I browse on the internet.
Like you Floop I'm just not getting the whole gmail thing.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

I guess it's a question of philosophy. To me, mail is a way to transfer attachments (providing they aren't too big), not store them. Once I receive an attachment, if I want to keep it I save it to a "permanent" place. Otherwise it gets deleted with the rest of my mail. |

I don't have a server.
gmail stores a gig and I can see it from anywhere.
Why not?

no one has ever been able to tell me how gmail is different than a regular email account, but insist that it's so much better.
