Gmail is my choice only because it is relatively ad-free. Lack of folders, down-my-throat "conversations" instead of individual messages and pathetic editor are a pain in the back. Gmail sucks when you're managing 4-5 simultaneous email threads daily with various random incoming messages.
I use 3 different computers running two OS'es - that is the only reason I use web-based mail. Back in the day when everything was on my laptop, I liked "TheBat!" and ThunderBird.
- Jd 19y agoI agree, although if you could login to multiple accounts simultaneously this might solve the problem.
- maw 19y agoI don't understand the lack of folders complaint. Labels achieve the same thing, and more flexibly, even, since the same message can show up in various places, and its read status is what it should be. I use evolution for work email and use its "vfolders" extensively. They have a different name, and they predate "tagging", but they're really the same thing, and difficult to live without. In gmail, I would prefer proper threads instead of "conversations", but in practice the difference is minimal. The crappy editor is its biggest problem, but even that can be worked around.
