Gmail

Does anyone use Google's Gmail please? Is it any good?

 

Never liked the look of it, I've been on hotmail for over a decade. I've got a .com address too, quite proud of that.

 

Yep, been using it for years now, no problems. Spam gets put away fine

 

Thanks John and Zigs,

I'm captive here with Manx Telecom and since my son and daughter have moved abroad it's nigh on impossible for them to send me pictures more than a couple at a time through MT's email setup. I use Google which is why I thought I'd check it out. My other half doesn't like it and uses Yahoo, so I thought I'd get some more opinions.

 

Not used g mail as such, but I think Virgin works somehow via google mail.
I 'm not keen on too much google stuff, they seem to want to tie you up in knots and squeeze every last bit of info and connections out of you.
One reason why I wont use Chrome browser, apart from the fact it all seems like gobble de goop, to me.

 

I use both gmail and yahoo and whilst both scrape every bit of info they can from you, I find gmail superior.

 

Thanks all, I'll way up the pro's and con's.

 

Thanks Armandii and Marley, it looks like the way to go, so I'll check it out again tomorrow.

 

I have gmail and use it for certain type of email, more sensitive emails, never had a problem, I use the calendar for all my personal data and my phone automatically backs pictures up to my account, you have to adjust privacy settings to "me only", I have a yahoo which only gets rubbish, and my sky account gets the bulk of everything else.

 

Hi, like with any software you have to ask yourself a couple of questions

1. What are you going to use it for?
2. What device(s) are you going to be using it on?
3. Does it need to link to any other software you might be using?
