Charles on… anything that comes along

Very quickly. Gmail is fantastic. And look at that fun counter on the front page: showing how many megabytes (and counting) of free storage it has “so you’ll never need to delete another message.” (Yeah, but there are plenty I’m happy to.) Go on, look just for fun.

Also, when it started just over a year ago I was a bit sniffy about its spam filtering. No more. Although my Gmail address is on the contact page, I’ve had no spam in the stuff that sits in my inbox (to be onpassed as secure POP mail - very nice); and only a couple of false positives among hundreds of junk. And even those false positives I could likely have lived without.

Yes, compared to the others, which I also use, I’d have to say Gmail is the better experience.

(And BTW I still have a gazillion invites available - be part of those ever-increasing megabytes being added by the gnomes! Drop me an email, or put it in the email field of a comment - it won’t appear on the page.)
