Best old thing that’s still new

By Charles Martin | December 21, 2008

You’re gonna laugh, but I still have a high level of love for GMAIL.  Yep, you’ve read right.

I’ve tried all the others.  Had Outlook for 12 years.  Nothing works for me like GMAIL and Google Calendar along with the myriad plugins and sync devices I utilize on my blackberry.

This year GMAIL has gotten me out of hock multiple times with it’s I-Map technology whereby NO email goes lost.  There’s so much storage, you seem to have endless power to archive possibly tens of thousands of emails.  If you are a Yahoo or even the new .me (old .mac) user, GMAIL blows it away.

The only possible tweak I’d ask for is that it check my outside POP accounts more frequently like the blackberry mail service does.  I hear google is working on it.

Good on you GMAIL.
