In love with Google Mail#

Okay, this one's partly a concession to Miramar Mike – I have to hand it Google, I'm totally in love with Google Mail. And I'm not just talking about the "Yay I get an email address @ gmail.com" service, I'm talking about the hosting all your personal domain email with Gmail i.e user_mailbox_x100@svoboda.co.nz. This is some I just discovered recently. I also had a good look to see if Microsoft was doing this as well. However their service with POP3 support is not free and a lot more expensive than even the Google premium service. One thing I didn't like was the Google Mail interface. I found it a bit outdated. It's grown on me but I would like to still see it lean, but a bit slicker and more professional looking. The other thing that worried me was the conversation threads and no folder support. I've grown to like conversation threads as now I don't lose any emails in a particular conversation and I have fallen in love with archiving and labeling instead of using folders. All in all a nice offering and providing some major challenge to Microsoft in terms of hosted email offerings.
