It's hard to believe but five years ago Gmail was launched and changed how we view email storage forever. If you recall when Gmail was made semi-public it shattered the email storage capacity for any available free service. Storage was measured in gigs and you seemingly could store unlimited amounts of emails.The Gmail launch also started a frenzy of trying to acquire an invite to the service. It was a clever but very effective technique by Google to give out invites to users who would then get 10 more invites and so on which caused people to start selling them on Ebay.
It's been a good tenure so far for Gmail and the email service has experienced a wide adoption rate and rave reviews. Hopefully the next five years will bring more innovation and new features that will bring new ideas to the email front.
just wish theyd drop that beta tag
Yeah, that 3 seconds is a real killer. /s

Amen to that.
It's a valid point. 5 years for any app or service to still be in beta is unusual but I guess it's easy being a wise guy, right?
Actually, it's easier to be a stupid guy. Being a wise guy requires some effort. Being a stupid guy requires no effort.
Now look sad and say "Duh?"
I use the very basic setup for the overloaded site. No chat, no crap.
It's not a bad web mail, but far from the best!

LOL if it wasn't for gmail....yahoo and hotmail would still only be 25meg which is exactly what they were until gmail came out with gigs of space which kept getting bigger as you watched.
If its not the best what is ?
just curious then - what is the best in your opinion?
But as a mail CLIENT, those non intuitive labels, 1980's interface, etc. still suck as badly today as they did when they were introduced.

yea..baked u r ryt....Gmail changed our view....
Couldn't disagree more--I love how the labels work.
It allows me to assign multiple labels so that I can better categorize my email--I'm not forced to place my email into one folder.

Sadly, the Mac version is better than the Widows version.
Do you guys have any other thoughts on this? What would you like to see in the new version?
