gMail rocks!

Member's Forum

they are introducing new cool feature every week!!

recently they added a function so that attachments would have automatic thumbnails in the message itself. now, they added one more thing. when you have several attachments in a message gMail automatically creates a ZIP file of them and you can download one archive instead of each attachment one by one.

i love the snippets function, so that next to the subject a la google style you have the beginning of the message. this way many times i can tell if i want to read the message at all.

also, the keyboard shortcuts are neat, especially for a web based email system.

Something I'd be concerned about:

(via /.):

Quote:

"Michael Wally writes "GMail messages are vulnerable to interception. An attacker has only to transmit malformed test messages to himself, and information left over in memory, from previous messages destined for other people, will appear with the test messages, in the attacker's inbox. Sometimes, this information may include usernames and passwords... Do you use GMail? Are you communications private? Should they be? Well, here's what we figured out about the issue, that may or may not help you - or perhaps GMail, if anyone can get ahold of their developers, to tell them about it."

Keep in mindGMail is still in Beta testing..

Caveat mailor...

I generally have nothing to say in email that I wouldn't be willing to plaster on a billboard in the middle of downtown Phoenix, so I'm not overly concerned about "privacy/security" issues such as this.

If someone really wants to go through the trouble to find out that my wife asked me to pick up a gallon of milk and a pair of handcuffs on the way home, more power to them! :wink:
