Was just checking my mail...and I love GMail. So easy to use, free, with tons of space. Cant wait to see what the new version will be like

Lets hope the new version is more 'mobile friendly'.

At the moment it well - it has its moments.

But other wise I agree. GMail rox.

GMail is pretty awesome, Works with my Outlook on my PC and cellphone nicely.

Its always been mobile friend, you can either download the Java App or just goto mobile gmail.

Or if you have a Smartphone or Pocket PC you can Wirelessly Sync it with yoy phones Outlook

Any clues what the upgrade will be? Its perfect like it is, but google can make anything better.

The upgrade will have quite a number of improvements. I started a thread a short while ago about Gmail 2.0. Look for it

Anyway, i love Gmail. I use it all the time and the mobile app is perfect.

You can get a Java GMAIL app, which works VERY well (it's created by Google).

Go to settings in your Gmail account, and then to "Forwarding an POP". It will tell you how to do it there

Gmail is so cool. But why can't we subscribe to this site with a gmail account? There is something about no free email accounts accepted. That sucks.

I think it's got to do with spam, but I also find it stupid, but it has a reason I suppose.

It was to stop troublemakers from creating new accounts and causing trouble all over again after being banned, IIRC.

Right, im sure I deserved to be "temperarily banned" for no reason. Im so sure.

I wont say who I was, so just leave it, doesnt change facts though. There are people on this forum getting away with things worse than the people they aggrevated and got perm kicked.

Awwww.... want a lolly?

AAAANYWAY, check out what i just read on the GMail blog:

2. Bookmark emails
I frequently need to save a single email for a period of time, such as a message that includes an important phone number. But I don't want to create a separate label for one message, and I also don't want to archive all the email that comes in after that message just to keep that thread near the top of my inbox--and hopefully the top of my mind. This problem is now easily solved by a new ability to bookmark specific emails. All emails now have dedicated URLs, so just by adding a browser bookmark while viewing a message, you can return to it whenever you want, just like a regular web page--although you will still have to log in to Gmail if you've signed out.

How cool is that?! Each email has it's own URL?! That's fantastic!

Hotmail has actually pulled a few stops and improved quite a bit, I don't dislike it as much as I used to.

With their new "Live" theme, they allowed Different coloured themes if you chose to upgrade.

I think they made it alot better. Then when I look at Gmail, I find a boring white theme

Meh.. Hotmail can't get quite annoying. They tend to bombard me with extra storage space the whole time.

1 day I have 20mg, next day they shoot it up to 2gig and next week, all of a sudden I have 5gig.

Just means I get more junk mail now

...If you use Firefox gmail too can be colorful... not that the ability to choose themes rates very high on my criteria of a good mail service
