How do you use Gmail?

[Blue Cat Buxton]

For those who have Gmail, do you use it?

If so do you still find yourself deleting stuff.

I know the idea is to hang onto everything, but so many of the messages I get I know I will never refer to again (google alerts, newsletters etc), that I just delete them.

I like to have things filed away and actually use my inbox as a sort of todo - if a message is in my inbox it still needs actioning until I delete it or file it away.


So, what do you think, is Gmail fateally flawed because people dont want to keep all their emails (or am I just odd :D )

I archive a lot of mine, but I love GMail - the threaded conversations especially.

I'm using it more and more - signed up to a number of mailing lists with it (including daily alerts from Alternet.org), and it's a nice, spam-free environment to use for emailing friends back home.

I freaking love threaded conversations.

I use my Gmail as much as possible.

I also love the [unofficial] Mozilla Extension for Gmail.

I don't have a GMail account - I am one of "those" people. :p

[James]

What do you mean "those" people?

You don't want one, you mean?

If you do, just PM me.

[AndyH]

I mean one of the few that still don't have it. :p

I don't really want it as I won't use it. Thanks for the offer though.

[MarkB]

See? Can't even give it away now LOL

[James]

Hehe, everyone who wants em' has em' :)

[Mike]

Yeah, I haven't got one and don't see that I need one really :)

I only like using one email account for personal stuff, and can't be bothered changing now ;p

[James]

Well if anyone does want one, just simply PM me with your name and current e-mail address.

I like the threaded conversations as well.

For me it wokrs better than Hotmail as a second email address (I use it for link exchanges and newsletter subscriptions primarily), and to protect my main email from spam.

But still getting to grips with it.

I like hotmail better and will be sticking with it.

I have an account, but i never use it...everyone else signed up, so I joined the bandwagon :)

I have 5 invites if anyone needs one

fatally flawed? you can use it any way you like. I don't see it as a flaw, and it's certainly not fatal :)
