yeah, it requires a bit of a different mindset, having labels instead of folders, but the ability to have multiple labels per message is appealing and is something you can't really do with folders.

I know some people who have had difficulty even accessing their G-mail Account.

I guess thats why they call it beta..

Yep sometimes the server lags a bit but for a BETA service its not doing too badly :)
I've only failled to access Gmail twice so far and that was at a peak time period so I can't grumble really :)

Nah - im talking about permanently - as in NO access because it screws up.

If you send e-mails to the account you just get delivery delay failures until it times out.

Ok....... a couple of links that show that i'm not the only person having problems accessing my account..... strangely enough i can log in to change my password and details........ but if i try to get to my email account the page tries to refer me on........ and then times out or says that the page isn't available :shrug:
I've tried all the cookie and temp page flushing.... changing privacy settings etc in IE and ZA.... allowing google.com etc..... using different browser - Firefox......... REBOOTING for god's sake!!!!!

Nothing..... and Theblueraja even tried to access my account from his pc in Hove but he had the same problem.....

Luckily, i have many an email address to use and so can wait..... for Beta to become Omega ;)

I must have a special lucky internet connection or something, I've been able to access it every time I tried, unfortunately I'm moving house in a month or so and will be going back to NTL *grimace* I wouldn't gamble on my success rate then.

I'm not with NTL :erm: hang on.......... shouldn't that be :D

Think it's just the luck of the draw as far as gmail's concerned...... i set up an account....... sent out a few emails...... but everyone that's replied has told me that they're getting bounced back mails saying that the delivery is pending and should occur in due course....... :zzz:

Well even if they DO reply............. I'LL NEVER KNOW!!! :D

Oh and this is me caring right at this moment...... :dozey:

All I can say is that I've only ever had about 1 day when it wasn't working, but other than that it's been fine.

I just noticed that my spam folder is full, no wonder I have not been seeing much email, thats an excellent feature.
The only thing is I still feel that I have to trawl through the spam folder to check if anything has been mistaken for spam that should not be.
