Do you use Gmail or not?
I use Gmail.





Gmail makes email easy. With more than 2,500 megabytes of free storage, you never need to throw messages away. And with a powerful built-in Google search engine, you no longer need to set up folders, file your mail, or remember where you stored your messages. Just search for what you want. You'll not only find the message you have in mind, but all the other messages that are part of the same conversation arranged in chronological order so you can easily put everything in context.








(1) The secret is search


Just type a few keywords into the search box and your message appears. You don't have to remember where you put your mail.





(2) It's all in how you look at it


With Gmail, you'll see your messages in context. If there was a reply to a message you sent or received, Gmail will automatically display it in chronological order with the original. This conversation view continues to grow as you respond and new replies arrive, making it possible for you to follow the whole back and forth discussion in one place.





(3) Never lose a message again


You never know when you might need to see a message again. So why delete it? With Gmail, you can store your messages instead. A single click of your mouse moves messages out of your Inbox into a secure archive where you can quickly find them with a simple search.





(4) Filing email is not the best use of your time


Storing mail in folders with subfolders and nested sub-sub folders is not a productive way to spend your day. What's the point? With Gmail, you can find an entire email exchange organized as a conversation, just by searching for keywords that appear in any one of the emails that's part of it. If you want, you can further organize your messages by creating labels for them.





(6) It has ads. But only good ads.


Gmail isn't a traditional webmail account. There are no pop-ups, untargeted banner ads or warnings urging you to buy more storage. Gmail, however, will often place a few highly relevant, text ads adjacent to the body of your email. You'll also see links to related web pages you might find of interest.
Reply:No..Google used to be the cool upstart..but sadly it's gone the way of every other global brand, bland and with no spark. I had friends who went over and they've all gone back to their original mail addresses.
