Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam
I can't say enough good things about Gmail. The way it handles conversations. The archive feature. The nice, clean, low clutter interface.
Sorry, Yahoo! You were my first love, but lately, you haven't been satisfying my needs. It's not me, it's you.
Best of all, though, is the way Gmail handles spam.
Sorry, Yahoo! I don't mean to be a beyotch, comparing you to... another, but, well, you've had more experience than anyone else in the business, yet you're almost as gawd-awful as Hotmail (which I can't say enough bad things about. Don't even get me started. Seriously, don't.). There's simply no excuse for you not having figured out how to deal with spam, after ten years. No excuse at all.
See, I get a lot of email. I mean, a lot. About 100 messages a day, to my main address (which is not yet Gmail, but will be soon). I subscribe to a lot of stuff. Important stuff, like the daily shoe auctions at Gotham City Online. Too, I've had my email address on a Web page since 1995 — lots of time for every spammer out there to have it on his list. So I also get a lot of spam.
And Gmail has never made a mistake yet. It puts spam in the spam folder, and my "real" messages in my inbox. Never vice versa. Never verse vica. Always just right.
Gmail, I love you. More than any man, right now.
Them I like tall, dark, and handsome. And if they have a wicked sense of humour on top of it, well, it's a most welcome bonus. These days, in my book, Gmail is better than any man.
Have you seen the text ads for spam recipes that appear when you go into your spam folder? They make me laugh every time. I can't quite decide whether they're serious, or whether these recipes are sprachspiels.
What do you think, Gentle Reader?

I have a gmail address for garlicster and a gmail address for my blog. My main address is still yahoo, and I actually have those gmail messages forwarded to my yahoo account, that way I don't have to check 4 different email accounts.
I also have had a mail.com account for 9 years or so, it used to be really good, it would forward messages to my main address. About 5 years ago they changed that and now every time I check in I have like 100 spam messages, it does not filter absolutely anything. Now that's the address I use to subscribe to non-important things like tests or quizzes.
The spam handling is good with gmail, but it still lets pass some spam messages, especially the ones which have an image, instead of text. It's still good anyway, and I'm glad the address I have published on the net is a gmail address.
I only use my yahoo account for signing in to things I only want to see once, like when you click a link and it takes you to the East Nowhere Picayune and they make you sign up (IT'S FREE!)before you can access the article.
Otherwise, I've been Gmail all tha way for quite awhile now and I love it with a passion, too.
So what you're really looking for is a Gmale?
Oooooh, good one, Cheryl!
I also like the idea of a G-man.
But yeah, I'd love a man who could handle conversations well, who was nice and clean, and who'd take out the, er, trash. He can handle my archives any time.
