Esteem Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 just wanted a heads up to those who have gmail and WLM. Who likes what better? curious to see what teh beta testers for WLM have to say. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I prefer Gmail, just for the sheer amount of features and the fact that it doesn't have gigantor ad's on the top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterious Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I am in the UK and I cannot believe what google has done. We don't get @gmail.com, we get @googlemail.com and that really put me off. I like WLM better because I can drag and drop emails :) But it is still in beta so lets wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadish Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 GMail's better... * Live Mail doesn't work for FF yet (it will, ok, but for now, Gmail is better) * I really don't like how you have to sign in in Live Mail/Hotmail/connect/beta.microsoft/...etc: I always set "Remember address and pass, and I ALWAYS have to type it in again and again and again. This is REALLY annoying me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymousjon Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 mail's better, the UI, drag+drop, right click, reading pane, new sercurity/safety features, contacts intergrating with messenger..the features that i think make it better. cadish, thats an odd problem, are sure you have cookies enabled and arnt deleteing them?

giga Veteran Posted January 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2006 I love the UI of Live mail but it doesn't work in Firefox. So no go for me...yet. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mx Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 One thing those in the UK should know about Gmail. If you get USERNAME@Googlemail.com, all mail to USERNAME@gmail.com still goes to your googlemail.com account :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Battery Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Gmail 100% I really don't like WLM at all, its like using a cheap email client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNay Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I like Gmail better than Windows Live Mail. I didn't like Live Mail, so I opt'd out and it pushed me out of WLMessenger :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Gmail, though WLM does have the advantage of behaving more like a desktop client, but Gmail is still far superior. free pop access, vacation responder, mail forwarding etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDog Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 GMail - LiveMail is nice but I don't see what all the fuss is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k36 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I like gmail alot better then WLM because i find it so damm hard to read emails in such a small little space. An i don't feel like setting my res any higher then what it is now just so i can use WLM.. So i would be going with gmail over WLM. btw.. i was only WLM for like a day before i got out of the beta.

Fanatical Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Gmail! Live mail seems to be favoured by people who use Outlook, i don't :p Gmail is just cleaner, and faster :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadman Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Live mail, simple because i dont use gmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Live mail... I think it has a much cleaner look and much more options. However, gmail is faster (at least for me) right now. I will see when live mail beta is released to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
