View my profilegmail…the honeymoon is over…
March 2nd, 2007either that or the title should be “oh, the irony”
last week i switched from yahoo mail to gmail for my work email (i route my work email thru gmail to take advantage of the spam filtering and web access). being a long time yahoo person that was sort of a tough decision…
the main reason i switched? yahoo mail was putting too many good emails (three a week at least) in the spam folder. and, if that wasn’t bad enough, you can’t search spam…
however….that’s a whole lot better than being down for 12 plus hours like gmail was today for a subset of their user base. and, to top it off, i lost all my email for that period. maybe it will come back, maybe it won’t…
ughhh….gmail, i’ll give you one more chance…why? i understand what it’s like for companies to provide applications (free as well!) like this at scale…service interruptions do happen. also, it helps that i love the product - it’s fast, has great mobile access, and the threading is fantastic…so, please please, don’t disappoint…
ps - if you sent me an email today, please resend it…thanks!
update: seems like i’m starting to get email from earlier today…it’s trickling in..

I will resist the temptation to make a smartass comment here… :-)

Sounds frustrating. Nonetheless, I really like gmail. It’s a great, simple, powerful application!
