no logo for me either… does north america still have gmail or googlemail? As europe is now Googlemail I believe, due to some lawsuit…so maybe its only the gmail logo? ---

I used yahoo, hotmail and gmail. Frankly, gmail is the best of them. Hotmail sucks ofcourse with no little doubt 🙂 yahoo is good though, but i like the smiple interface of gmail. The labels is something i can’t work without now, it’s really amazing idea. my main email now is my gmail. Since this is the first anniversery for gmail, I expect some new features or at least it go official instead of being in BETA till now. anyway, Happy Birthday GMAIL !:thumb: ---

I use both Live Mail and Gmail. Gmail handles all of the site traffic - which is largely spam, but for all of my college/personal e-mails I use Live. I can’t live without folders for serious e-mail organization :beam: ---

I singed up for Live Mail for a while now, they didn’t give me invitation. Also, there is something really annoying about MS. I got invitiation to use messenger Live, i downloaded it and started using it in on of my accounts. By nature, I signed out to use another account. Access denied cos this account is not allowed to use messenger Live ! :h: I remove it, no point of keeping it to use one account only :S ---

Yeah why is gmail still in Beta?? Guess it means that dont get heaps of random accounts being created cause u need an invitation to sign up. Im slowly moving from hotmail to gmail as my primary account, but silly people still keep using my hotmail address. Igot my hotmail and gmail both connected to Outlook, so no major inconvience, really like the POP3 of gmail, which hotmail doesnt have. ---

Dude did you know you can set gmail up to send email from any address? You could get all your mail from your old account forwarded to gmail and either reply from your old address OR your new one 😃 [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/gmail-turns-2/184063.md?page=2)
