Re: OT - Giving the boot for Gmail!

[Guest guest]

At the moment I am stuck navigating the lists either

via the website or my email inbox. Well I can't

stand hanging out at the website so my inbox it

is.

Problem is won't let me read my messages in the

order that I received them without taking me back each

time to the list of messages.

For example, if I'm reading a message and choose to

delete it, it won't take me to the next message up

from it, but rather return me to the inbox. Annoying.

It doesn't do this if I read them in reverse order but

what good is that, reading the last message in a

thread first?

Could someone send me an invite to gmail? Or perhaps

someone knows something about the inbox I don't

know.

I once ran across a web mail service whose interface

acted just like a desktop email client but I can't

seem to find it. Does anyone know of such a beast?

I need to be able to download my email (POP 3) to this

site while still leaving the messages on the server.

Thnaks in advance!

without realizing that materialism and

criticisms from their first appearance. "

With GMail, you can navigate next and previous without going back to

the inbox *and* each thread is organized together, so you don't have

to click on anything to follow it. Once the message is read, it stays

in the thread in the form of a hyperlink, and if there are more than

one old message they are condensed into a " show other messages " link.

And for those pesky people who quote the whole digest with their reply

and whatnot, they have some formula where if the quoted text is so

much longer than the new text, it condenses it into a " show quoted

text " link-- and the in-context links load instantly even on my

pathetic dial-up connection.

You can also perform a Google search in your mail (!), a feature I

haven't tried yet.

I'll send you an invite when I'm done reading my mail, if I can figure out how.
