Lee said:What bothers me about the amount of space they declare you never need to delete e-mails coz of space lacking. Well I can just see them doing what microsoft did to me and millions of others, just empty our inboxes (they said by accident) and remove all our important files.
Son Goku said:One thing, that I think should come into place (tried it recently, though no I haven't moved my mail over)...is to allow for IMAP or POP3 servers.
rotjong said:PS: One thing about being able to access your email this way from gmail is that it essentially kills the entire purpose of gmail. Gmail is being marketed in two ways: the 1 gig of space and how it organizes your mail. If you access it via POP3 or IMAP then the whole gmail organizational method gets thrown out the window as does the search capabilities that they talk about. I think they should still add/allow POP3/IMAP support but it would definitely impact the whole marketing of gmail.
You present a very valid point and one I would make use of... to a point. Yes, I am a privacy conscious person to the point of some calling me paranoid. I'm not saying Google will read my email or any of that huge conspiracy stuff but I do always have concern about someone who knows my email hacking it. It does happen time to time [though never to me] and the last thing I want is the hypothetical 1 gig of my personal email sitting there for someone to read. That could hypothetically lead to a very embarrassing situation [for some people but not me ] if not worse.Glaanieboy said:What about backups? You copy the mails over to your home computer, but you don't delete the mail on the GMail server. If something happens to either your computer or Gmail, you always have a copy.
Again you make a great point and time will tell how this works out I wouldn't mind seeing QUALCOMM adding this to Eudora.The labelling system can easily be adapted into most mailclients, as most mailclients have the ability to use a set of rules based on the email headers, subject line and/or body. GMail could easily add a header to the email containing something like X-GMail-Label: <label name>, so you can create rules/folders depening on the label. I agree, not the cleanest way, but still a way.
