Thanks to Charlie Rosenberg, I was able to get a gmail account. Gmail is pretty impressive. Lots have been said already... and from the end-user non-programmer point of view, I can very much say that Gmail is going to cause a mass-migration of hotmail and yahoo mail users. Its lightning fast, got a clean/userfriendly UI, and works on Mozilla too :) (I have not tested it out on Opera as yet). Whats amazing with gmail, is that it provides keyboard shortcuts, which makes it appear like a normal desktop email client.
Screenshots:
The Main Gmail Screen:
Composing a mail
Composing in a New Window clicking on the blue-arrow opens a new window, with the composition screen.
Address Auto-complete
Gmail stores the sent and received email addresses. Using javascript, it autocompletes the addresses, in the compose window:
Spell Checker
Cancel Sending mail
If any links on the left clicked while composing the mail, it confirms with the user if it can proceed, before heading there. Very useful in case you click any other meny by mistake.
Error
During the whole phase of testing, I got only one error, maybe, I think when the system was overloaded.
