Email is supposed to be a productivity tool. So why spend time filing messages, then later trying to remember where you put them? And why delete important mail just to stay within some arbitrary storage limit?Gmail makes email easy. With more than 2,500 megabytes of free storage, you never need to throw messages away. And with a powerful built-in Google search engine, you no longer need to set up folders, file your mail, or remember where you stored your messages. Just search for what you want. You’ll not only find the message you have in mind, but all the other messages that are part of the same conversation – arranged in chronological order so you can easily put everything in context.
(1) The secret is search. Google search is at the heart of Gmail. Fast, efficient, effective. Just type a few keywords into the search box and your message appears. You don’t have to remember where you put your mail. That’s our job.
(2) It’s all in how you look at it. With Gmail, you’ll see your messages in context. If there was a reply to a message you sent or received, Gmail will automatically display it in chronological order with the original. This conversation view continues to grow as you respond and new replies arrive, making it possible for you to follow the whole back and forth discussion in one place.
3) Never lose a message again. You never know when you might need to see a message again. So why delete it? With Gmail, you can store your messages instead. A single click of your mouse moves messages out of your Inbox into a secure archive where you can quickly find them with a simple search. With more than 2,500 megabytes of free storage, you can even keep all your back issues of the Lemur Lover’s newsletter.
(4) Filing email is not the best use of your time. Storing mail in folders with subfolders and nested sub-sub folders is not a productive way to spend your day. What’s the point? With Gmail, you can find an entire email exchange organized as a conversation, just by searching for keywords that appear in any one of the emails that’s part of it. If you want, you can further organize your messages by creating labels for them.
(5) Frying your spam. Google continues to work on spam filters to keep unwanted messages out of your inbox. However, spammers are deviously clever and adaptive. Defeating them will require your help. If you see a spam message, use the Report Spam feature to squash it. The spam will automatically be removed from your inbox and information about it will be reported to our quality team.
(6) It has ads. But only good ads. Gmail isn’t a traditional webmail account. There are no pop-ups, untargeted banner ads or warnings urging you to buy more storage. Gmail, however, will often place a few highly relevant, text ads adjacent to the body of your email. You’ll also see links to related web pages you might find of interest. These ads and links are displayed automatically using the same technology that powers our AdSense system, which delivers targeted ads to thousands of sites across the web. Computers scan the text on a given page, perform a mathematical analysis on it and match it to ads in our extensive database. No humans are involved in this process and no one reads your mail. You may find that hard to believe when you see how closely the ads match the topic of your message. So there you go. I have been using it for over 2 years now and would not change for anything.
]]>I have removed the button for Firefox on this site because it points to the old one. Here is a link to FireFox 2 Remember it is FREE and does not replace IE. It is just another choice for you. I would download it and try them both for a while.
]]>If you’re here to download Firefox, like other first-timers, you are just curious to see what the fuss is all about and why all of your friends are urging you to switch over. The major benefits over IE include tabbed browsing, strong security, faster loading, custom skins, master password and more.
Tabbed browsing allows you to browse multiple websites within one browser. Not only does it keeps clutter away from your computer, it also helps your computer run faster by taking up less system resources. You can read more about tabbed browsing other features in our Feature Guide.
Security & Safety
Lets talk about security. Firefox is more secure than Internet Explorer from ground up. Its a fundamentally different type of browser because it is not attached to your operating system. That means that malicious code can’t enter the browser and crawl its way through Windows and wreck havoc with your system.
To make the browser even safer, the developers added several other security features that protect you from anything that might need blocking, and that includes potential malicious codes and annoying pop-ups that can be more than just ads. But don’t be alarmed by Firefox’s protective nature, it won’t get in the way of your web browsing. Whenever something is blocked, you’re notified and given an option to see what got blocked and even allow it to be shown in the future.
So here is your chance to try FireFox. It is free and you can keep IE until you are sure. I have been using Firefox for two years now and would not give it up but I do keep IE on the computer. Click the button to the right and give it a shot.
