Got my Gmail account
I signed up my Gmail account today and did the test run. Overall I liked it and here is my findings.
- It was really fast and I like the way the "Reply" works without posting back.
- Shortcut is a godsend 'o' for Open 'c' for Compose
- Could not figure out anything from the “View Source“ though the head frame says that I do not have my JavaScript enabled which is not true as my JavaScript is always enabled.
- Timestamp - shows when the mail was received as well as how long back it was received.
- dormant accounts policy - Your Gmail account will be deleted and your userid will be recycled if you do not log into the account for 9 months. I am not sure whether account will be recycled for other free web-based email services.
- Initially I do not understand what they mean by “Labels“ until I read their help section. Label is nothing but folder but unlike folder with other web-based email services, one particular email can exists in more than one folder.
- Looks like Gmail supports only IE 5 and above.
