In order to do this you have to be a gmail terrorist.

If you want to do anything special like attack files, you have to open full gmail.

I use igoogle for homepage too - I love the "dynamic" themes that change during the day.

I like those too and I love having my gmail be right there.  What I don't like is when they updated it, you can't access full gmail features from iGoogle.  If you want to do anything special like attack files, you have to open full gmail.  Not a big deal, takes no time at all, but I would prefer it if it were all there to begin with.

I've heard of this and I'm wondering, how well do the autos run on it?

Squidly,

I'm not talented enough to do all that fancy shmancy quoting, but here's the answer.... It comes up on my homepage which is iGoogle.  So as soon as I pull up IE, I see if I have mail.

I have a Gmail account, too, but it comes to my Outlook Express.  If you don't use a mail program, don't you have to check for mail on the web?  Or do you have Google as a homepage or sumptin'?

If you use GMAIL, you can log into it from ANY internet connection. It is not blocked by most Work servers. I can also check it on my BlackBerry. It is an all-around very useful email program. It is also FREE, which is quite nice.

I had also read the Microsoft was going to stop supporting Outlook Express because it was not as secure a client. 

I guess I'll just hold out until I am forced to make a change since it works well for me.

Looks nice and would be a possible option.  I stay away from Apple/Macs because it's not only Uncle Otto who doesn't like it; there are many applications that only use or greatly prefer IBM compatible/Windows/etc.  If there's a secret here I don't know, I'm all ears!

Looks nice and I would finally be able to pull out my 1400 Apple disks but why name something Bootcamp? Makes you think you are going to have to do squats and run a lap before you get to play on your laptop.

Morning!   (OO)

I will be hard pressed to ever trust Microsoft again.  I usually never by a computer with a new OS right out of the gate, but with this laptop I didn't have a lot of choices.  The only thing that keeps me from dumping MS and going with MAC is 1., the cost and 2., uncle Otto doesn't seem to like it much.

I have Windows 7 Beta (the next step up after Vista) on one of my computers and am excited at how it might be my favorite Windows of all time. But it is still a beta and while Microsoft is actually handing out rumors of releasing it just to resolve all the Vista problems, I think they need to be doing lots of advertising on this one because there is such fear of Vista.

Thanks Stinkerbell.  I know what you mean about screwing it up.  Sure does not take much with Vista.  It would not be a bad system except for that.  To many thinks woven together.  Try to remove one thing and everythings screws up or gets moved.  It does run real smooth and quite.  Just don't temper with it.  lol 

:oo   %%

I had also read the Microsoft was going to stop supporting Outlook Express because it was not as secure a client.  Windows email, found on Vista, is basically the same program but you don't switch identities to check mail, they all come in at once when you log in.  Thunderbird was like that, too.  The thing I don't like about that is that when you compose a new email, you have to make sure you choose the correct 'sender' identity, and also, anyone else logging in to check their mail on the computer will see your mail as well.

I sure hope you're able to find something you like.  I'm sticking with it out of necessity, but I also use gmail (Google Mail)

Oh, and another thing regarding Vista.... when I first got this computer with Vista, it was a nightmare.  Nothing was compatible, Microsoft was being sued for 'false advertising' because programs you would buy would either say "Vista Capable" or "Vista Compatible" and the difference was, but they didn't make this clear, while "compatible" meant you were good to go, "capable" meant you could get it to run on Vista, but might have to upgrade software or hardware to do so.  Anyway, I had all kinds of issues with it until my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  From then on I've had few problems at all and most of the problems I do have are more just learning to use a new OS.

Again, I hope you find a mail client you can love and live with!
