Kedrosky: It's official - Gmail stinks
Paul actually says it much nicer than that, and leaves out hope that Google's Gmail will get better. I'm sure it will. I'm just not sure why pundits and the Valley have made such a fetish of the company (as I complained back on Halloween 2004). In the meantime, it takes someone like Walt Mossberg to finally get people to stop foraging at the Google trough - the company does search exceptionally well (and Google Maps and Google Mobile are also cool). But most of the rest of the company's work? Rubbish.

Haven't tried yahoo++ yet (I've applied). I still prefer gmail to evolution. (Gmail was much snappier than the zimbra demo). The referenced blog was quite weak in complaints against gmail citing no folders and conversations instead of individual mail. I don't care about the folders, I like tagging my mail (mail can't belong to two folders, but it can have two tags).
WRT to the conversation thing, I like them. It seems to be applesque thinking (changing the way we do things rather than incremental change of the traditional way). My only complaint with it is that I would like some notion of indenting, since an email thread is more like a tree than a list.
