Google’s Web-based e-mail program is far better than any other Web mail program I’ve ever encountered. There’s a lot to like:
- Way more storage than other programs
- Superior searchability
- Nested threads make it easy to see a lot more correspondence at a glance
- Labeling and archiving is simple and effective
- Integrated chat
- Awesome spam filtering
All in all, it’s an incredibly powerful program that saves me a lot of time and effort. And I’m sure it’s going to sync well when I get around to going more mobile with my email. So I’ve been switching my other email accounts over to Gmail, and during this process it’s become apparent that Google knows a LOT about me, my habits, even my patterns of thought.
