My new GMail account
I have received today an invitation to join GMail from Kevin, one of the Psi developers. Lots of thanks, once again.
I have registered myself an account and sent (& received) my first e-mails.
My first impressions:
- clean interface, easy to use
- efficient ads display (they are really on topic)
- message threading (looks great)
- it also says it has autocomplete for the e-mail addresses - didn’t test this yet, but I’ve noticed that, once you receive an e-mail, the sender’s e-mail is replaced by his name in the e-mails you’ve sent/received.
- there’s a toggle link (show/hide) for the quoted e-mail - only works if the e-mail is at the end (initially, the quoted text is hidden)
- “0% of 1000MB used”… I bet it’s not 1GB, but only 1000MB = 1GB - 24MB (what a waste, can you imagine? 24 more MB… tons of e-mails that I will loose.. loool
- it should have been called “1kMBmail”)
Bottom point is:
GMail looks promising. I don’t really know if somebody would really want to keep and search through 1GB of e-mails but, in the next years, I think that the average size of an e-mail would grow (probably because of multimedia content). I’ll wait to see how it is going.
