Tweakin said:Why would you switch to Yahoo because GMail hasn't come out of beta. Does it lack a feature or something? Beta is about as loose of a word as it gets these days.

Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird etc... all work with Gmail.mikeblas said:Client? Where do I get the GMail client?
Sure. But that doesn't seem to match what Nasty_Savage is saying; OE is already bundled with most computers that have Windows installed on 'em.Puterguru said:Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird etc... all work with Gmail.
I must have mised his reply. Thought you were just asking about an email client for Gmail, sorry.mikeblas said:Sure. But that doesn't seem to match what Nasty_Savage is saying; OE is already bundled with most computers that have Windows installed on 'em.
CompuDrew said:I use gmail exclusively through Outlook/pop3 and I love it, but I agree with the OP's complaints about the web based gmail. I also don't like how with (web based) gmail everything stays in your inbox and you mark things with labels. I like hotmail web based email better.

And this is a bad thing? I can't stand it when pictures are imbedded in e-mails. Can you say, security risk?Cabn12 said:You can't insert pics into an e-mail you can only send as an attachment.

Well, first there was the WMF vulnerability. Secondly, if you can embed an image in an e-mail, it usually means the format is HTML, which opens the doors to a whole host of problems. I guess it truly is easier to laugh at something, rather than do a little reading.Cabn12 said:Sure...security risk. There, now what?

djnes said:You may be new here, based on your title, but there is some common sense involved. Emotions and facial expressions can't be read on a web page. You also will learn as you've been here, a large number of noobs come in here with an attitude that they know it all. That's how your post came across. All I can do is read the text on the screen. I can take a joke as well as anyone else, it's just that some of us are conditioned that when a noob posts something that can be taking as coping an attitude, the warning alarms go off.
I bet Kyle didn't. :-pdjnes said:All we have to go on is the title, and all of us started at the noob level. Every single person on here was a noob at one point in time, in their careers and on the boards.
Lol...I take back my statement. ALMOST all of us didn't start as noobs. Honestly, if I had my own site, I'd give myself a custom title right away, too.Eulogy said:I bet Kyle didn't. :-p
Meanwhile, your response certainly copped an attitude. Forum tags don't mean anything; I think we do better when we assume the best about others and try to help. Rolling one's eyes or making condescending remarks like "can you say 'security issue'?" isn't helpful, noob title or not.djnes said:All I am trying to say is that your response could easily be taken as copping an attitude.
I use that "can you say" phrase in real life quite often, actually.mikeblas said:Meanwhile, your response certainly copped an attitude.

Either that, or it was never quite so and you've repeatedly assumed conflict or malice when there was none. It happens often that people assume someone asking critical questions, providing forthright feedback, and pushing for accurate and definitive answers is being argumentative.AMD[H]unter said:but I know it used to be so.
Sure: it was very common on the late Fred Rogers' television show, where there was an adult explaining things to preschool- and kindergarden-aged children.AMD[H]unter said:Oh, and that phrase is quite a common phrase, and is not condescending in the least.
