Gmail Update



Gmail update:

Overnight, I have sent over 500 messages (out of 1,400 total) to my Gmail inbox. That's over 120MB worth of attachments. It would have been faster if my broadband connection's uplink wasn't limited to 128 kbps.

From what I see so far, I like Gmail. Two features of note are automatically threaded messages ("Conversations" in Gmail jargon) and the ability to assign multiple categories to messages ("Labels"). It will take me some time to get used not having regular email folders.

The user interface is typical Google - simple and fast. In fact, Gmail in combination with the Firefox browser is almost as fast as my regular email client, Apple Mail on Mac OS X.
