[access-uk] Re: Gmail SETUP AND ANTI-SPAM

Sounds good and useful for when on the move. I've heard something about being able to tag e-mails with certain words to make archiving/searching mail easier. If that's so, that's the thing that would really attract me to gmail. I just *wish* there was a way to do this in Outlook Express or some other client as, for me, no matter how accessible an html interface is, surely using OE is faster. But perhaps I'm wrong - perhaps I'll give gmail a try...

well, the 2 GB storage space, the very accessible html web interface,
in built google search, reading word documents and other files with
out actually needing to download,  just to name a few, plus its
totally free <smiles>

Hi,

Out of interest, what do you like about gmail apart from its good spam
filter?  Is there any other particular reason why you like it?
