First Gmail impressions...
Gmail seems working good... after my login problems (caused by a server error) now I can send and receive mail. First impressions:
The mail listing is clear and totally personalizable (wonderful the Starred feature... you can mark an important mail as starred by clicking the star near the mail title and you can easy retrieve them (and doing special search only on starred mails).
By clicking on an email on the list, you can view the entire mail thread... a good feature to see all the history for a message. The thread is tabbed, so you can switch between every message on the thread simply by clicking on it:
Google is the number 1 of the search engines, so the first feature I've checked in these first minutes of Gmail test is the filter capabilities. Gmail search is powerful, with lots of filters, predefined or custom. The search is fast and extremely accurate:
The mail editor is simple... maybe something more accurate could be done in the next month, the same for the contact session (I don't like the popup window, too simple...).
However, first impressions are really good!
