I forgot to mention that two weeks back I shifted all my mail to Gmail. Now I have routed all my email into a single account on Gmail. Gmail is full of great features and now I can send email from my Gmail account using a different authenticated email address in the sender’s field.
I didn’t want to use Gmail for a few reasons,
- It doenst have that kewl looking interface…. I have learnt to deal with that.
- I didn’t know about the archive function….. getting to know about it was one of the main features that prompted me to shift to Gmail.
- I was too used to a desktop email client (Thunderbird)
Well, the reasons why I shifted to Gmail are
- I realized that a desktop email client is mainly for ppl with desktops or those who carry their Laptops around with them each day. I do carry my laptop with me everywhere, but I am getting tierd of it now. I have an Inspiron 8600 and it is heavy…. So, if I dont have a secure local machine, using a desktop email client is not really a good idea.
- I learnt how to use the archive function. Now I have just set up filters that automatically label my mail and archive it at the same time.
Gmail is really good. AJAX, I guess, is the way to go….
