[...] Don’t get me wrong — I love Gmail. I’d pick it over Yahoo! Mail Beta (another turtle) on any given day. Gmail has become the ‘nerve center’ of my home office communications, and as such, I just want my fast Gmail back! [...]

Fleeb, the wonders of Gmail, eh? And the available email space just keeps growing, hehe…

And I used Gmail’s forwarding feature (the SMTP one) to send e-mails from my own email@domain then my email@domain is simply a forwarder to my Gmail. Aside from the speed, it’s one thing I like about Gmail. I get to keep my email@domain while Gmail takes care of the space.

* Note email@domain = antispam

Jepoy, thanks for the tip. Gmail does seem to be leading the pack lately, hehe.

Jangelo, screw email. Let’s get back to snail mail!

Screw email. Let’s all get back to FIDOmail. The Internet’s overrated, anyway.

Angelo, I do find Gmail a lot more intuitive to use than Yahoo! Mail (even the new ‘Beta’ version). That’s why most of my Yahoo!Groups are subscribed to Gmail rather than my Yahoo account, hehe.

Ia, thanks for that. I learn something new everyday. Now I remember — I used to use Hotmail and EdsaMail!

– I introduce you to the term “frotzed.”

Yea, I used mail clients before I finally switched to GMail. In the transition period I used my Yahoo account for all those email addresses for those offline forms (org infosheets, haha), but it never felt comfortable.

I’m ok with Gmail even in the rare chances I need to use dialup ( get DSL already, will you? ). The longish wait is usually only the first time I load up the page. It’s all AJAXy goodness from that point.

As for Yahoo Mail, well, it’s been eons since I used that!
