Gmail

Gmail now store your chat histories as well. I'm really impressed. It's a very very nice idea cause generally storing chat histories locally is not very secure at all (for example me and my friend wrote some code to decode Yahoo chat histories, hee). Obviously you can search your chat histories AND you'll never lose them. Unless you delete them of course. That's a big thumbs up for Gmail.

if you run naim on a unix box, you can save all your logs and its very easy to just set the perms of those files to 600.

the google chat at this point in time is very clunky and painful to use.

i do find gmail to be my favourite mail client by miles.

the approach is different but once you get to the point where you use it, it makes a lot of sense.

when i first started using it, i kept going, why don't they do it like everyone else does it?

now i like the fact that i can just archive messages and they go away but aren't deleted.

i love the treading it does for messages.

i don't really have any complaints about it.

I read this GMail engineer's blog and found it interesting.

How can you help in the fight? Your most powerful tool is the "Report Spam" button. Use it early and often. That isn't just there to get the spammy message into the spam folder. It sends valuable information back to the spam team that helps us flag messages and senders so we can keep future messages out of your and millions of other inboxes.
