Thank you for trying to “improve” the Gmail.
I also very much liked the way you handled the moronic comment posted on “June 9th, 2008 at 10:59 pm ” Ganti

This to me has been the biggest flaw/frustration I’ve had with Gmail.

Yes, I know there is a work-around, but for Gmail to be out this long and to still not have added something so basic, surprises me to no end…

A function mostly used by online businesses, I would imagine, eg, notifying cards or donations as gifts would be the obvious areas of need (with a nominated send date, rather than the ambiguous “do not deliver before”).

Don’t really see it as a high priority one for Gmail (given how many other things are “needed”), but would be interesting to know if others have a burning need for the capability.

I almost deleted your comment for violation of our comment policy. By all means disagree with me, but do so intelligently and without calling me a moron.

No one has said anything moronic, they’re just mentioning their irritations with Gmail, no reason to get all histrionic about it.

You seem to think that labels and stars are highly sophisticated organizational tools, which is blatantly false. It’s nice that they’re sufficient for your needs, but many other people find them limited in scope and flexibility. They have a different opinion, in other words, which is hardly a crime warranting your hysterics.

Like when you said , you press archive it vanishes, well then dude thats what the button does!! It archives it in the background. There is an option to just apply a label without pressing “archive”.

And then you talk about “important” or whatever, there is something called “stars” present in gmail. I guess you missed it.

And then there is number 3. Seriously dude, if I ever get your email adress, you dont think I can forward all the junk mail to you ? They dont need a confirmation mail to forward the emails from a particular domain name. You would end up with a lot of spam, if not for that filter. What you want is to create a filter of your own saying that particular emails should never be marked as spam.

I agree with you on the drag and drop. But when you are giving your “expert” opinions, have the minimum sense to sift through all the services, the providers are offering.

Mult-level folders for archiving mail.

And I’d really like to know who the genius is at Google who decided that people don’t archive outgoing mail.

Oh, sure, I can put a label on outgoing mail, and it appears under the designated folder, but there it stubbornly sits (these days, hundreds of them) in the out box, as if I’d never archived it at all. If I file a mail I expect it to GO to the folder, I don’t want two instances of it cluttering things up!
