gmail
I switched over to gmail exclusively about 3 weeks ago. I installed the offline gmail tool and got it checking all my (important) accounts (about 4 of them). I setup alternative e-mail address to send email as, and setup multiple inboxes to sort mail. I setup filters to apply labels, star, and archive as needed.
I had problem connecting one day, and was pleased I could at least access the e-mail I had downloaded.
So far, it has been quite a struggle for me to change. The concept of labels over folders baffles me for some reason, and I end up making a ton of labels at first then start slowing narrowing it down to what i need. I can see the benefit of the labels over folders, but i still like to know that I can click on a folder because I moved it there. Not having to remember where an e-mail could be stuffed, and just do a quick little search for the label takes a bit of getting used to.
I’m getting into the groove of things, and have been using it everyday for several business accounts. I think the experiment is a success and I will continue to use it.
for my next project - i’m going to be setting up a home media pc with either an old pc or laptop, or my old xbox. I’m hoping to provide more media content to my xbox 360.
Would be interesting for my xbox to be slave to the xbox 360.
