djtaylor Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 It's not crowded at all. Take a look at hotmail and the buttons are puny and hard to find because of the crowdedness. As well, you cant compose a new message unless ur in your inbox folder on Hotmail. So Gmail owns :D You can! Just go into options -> mail -> Hotmail navigation, and you can set it so that there's a compose 'tab' at the top. One of the first things I found and changed!

Freakguy347 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Just RAR them. ;) Wont work. From their Help: As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, Gmail does not allow you to receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) that could contain damaging executable code. Gmail does not accept these types of files, even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. If someone tries to send this type of message to your Gmail account, the message will be bounced back to the sender. Maybe they forgot to include .rar in that list, but I doubt it. Im guessing they check inside all zip types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preducer Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 cant you just rename the extension ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el22 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Maybe they forgot to include .rar in that list, but I doubt it. Im guessing they check inside all zip types. I don't think they'd "forget" that kind of stuff :p They'd have to code a separate checker for each format, so it's not that easy to "check all zip types".

csabo2 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Gmail probobly wont offer pop3 support , as one of the main reasons for offering there 1GB service is so you dont have to file your emails, you can just search for the one you want. thats the reason im using the service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
