    Haven't used that since '99.

    Yahoo till Google started to provide web based email.

    Gmail ftw.

    No new messages in a more convenient format, and a different shade of blue?




    It's funny 'cos it's true.

    Yahoo ftw, I hate their search engine but their web email client is brilliant compared to Gmail or Hotmail (Cringe)

    I hate it. I found stuff I "deleted" in the Sent Items bit just now. Silly drag n' drop interface :confused:

    you see when you live in a cave and complain about teachers you miss out on new inventions like GMAIL.

    I don't like it either. I found stuff from my junk folder ended up in my deleted folder instead of just going away completely like they used to. Instead now, I have to go into the deleted folder and delete them again as they show up as a number (of unread messages) next to it :rolleyes:.

    Not meaning to sound lazy but shouldn't a newer version be better than the previous one or am I hoping for too much :confused:?

    I have a gmail...I use both.

    Hah Ive come across many teachers in my day who wouldn't even know how to turn on a laptop...I'm sure that 'Know Your Laptop' course will come in handy for a lot of those cave teachers.

    Gone all gey? You can multi select pm's. Mark ones that are important and that you need to come back to, you can access several other accounts to retrieve your mail without logging out, you can create folders to store drafts/received mail. It looks better. You can log directly in to MSN from it and you have your contacts and calender right beside you. My only gripes with it is if you click a mail at the bottom of the page it jumps you back to the top before opening it.

    I'll print this and send it to you via pigeon male Op.

    Fair enough since it is years since I used hotmail. But 40 days is ridiculous.
