Gmail is the best of the new e-mail offerings!
A short review of new e-mail offerings concludes that Gmail is the "best of the breed!", even though there are problems with the concept that have not been resolved.
MercuryNews.com | 07/12/2004 | It's a big year for e-mail inboxes: "I've also had an invitation-only Gmail test account for two months. Gmail, in short, blows them away. Unless Google somehow manages to make the final product worse than what it's previewing now, which seems extremely unlikely, then Gmail is definitely worth the wait.
...
Meanwhile, all the services I've mentioned above are hiding a ticking time bomb: What to do when your gigantic mailbox getsnear to full.
Gmail's sign-in page (http://gmail.google.com) proclaims: ``Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail . . . (with 1 GB) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.''
Never say never. Even the biggest inbox will fill up someday, at which point you're blocked from receiving or sending more messages. Most of us regularly receive big messages, with embedded pictures or attached files such as spreadsheets and music files. An active user might fill a 1 GB inbox in a year or two.
It will be agonizing to figure out which messages to delete among 10,000 or 30,000 or 50,000, especially when the free e-mail services today are limited to manual message-by-message deletion."
If you would like a Gmail address, send me an e-mail to rgmyers@gmail.com and I will invite you!
