Re: Gmail vs. Yahoo
I've been using gmail for about a day now (Thanks Yan!) and I am seriously considering moving from the ChiefDelphi server to gmail. (I'd keep my chiefdelphi address, but alias it to gmail)
- Gmail is fast. Very fast.
- The Gmail interface is intuitive, and new. I like new. It has features that most other e-mail and webmail systems don't have [labels, threaded discussions, etc]
- 1 GB. I have 6+ email addresses aliased to my chiefdelphi account, and even with my absurd amount of archived spam (30,000 so far in 2004) I have yet to reach 1GB.
- Decent spam filtering. It has missed 4-5, but it has caught 20-30. It has room for improvement, but it is good enough for now.
- Targeted advertising. Sure, its advertising, but it may provide helpful links. It's not in the way, giving me seizures, or annoying.
- External images aren't shown until you request for them to be shown. I hate e-mail clients that are eager to show images. Images in email are a bad thing to begin with, and with the amount of inappropriate spam thats going around, this is a good feature.
Gmail: I like it.
