I love Gmail. I’ve used it as the only mail service since 2005. And thanks to the generous capacity, I’ve never had to delete any conversation. The tons of thousands of chat logs are all archived in my account. And when they rolled out the labels feature, I adopted it pretty quickly and cleaned up my inbox.
I am currently using 1808 MB of space – 23% of their allotted capacity.
But I have a complain now. My gmail’s gotten too slow! It’s not because of network issue. At home I have a 4mbps broadband connection. And yet I have to wait for like half a minute after sign-in action for the inbox to appear. Also when I send a mail, it takes forever. In fact, it has now become a routine for the message – Sending – to appear when I hit the send button.
And apparently, I am not the only one. Read this article at TechCrunch : http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/05/gmail-new-deal/
I know a few seconds or a minute is not going to kill me. But I hate having to stare at empty screen waiting for the action to complete. It’s the user experience which is being effected now.
I can only hope that whatever issue is causing the latency gets resolved soon.

Gmail has this feature using which a person can delegate someone else to read and reply on his behalf. This could be an interesting and useful feature for a lot of people, myself included. I have two email ids, Earlier I had enabled multiple sign-on to be able to open both the gmail accounts in the same browser. But the multiple sign-on is a beta feature.
The delegate feature on the other hand simply lets me delegate the second id to the first one. So logged into the first one, with the click of a button (two actually) I can have the second email id opened up in a new tab. I can view all the mails of both the id’s and reply to the mails as well.
One important thing to note is the sent-by and sent-from addresses. The sent from contains the original email id and the sent-by contains the email id of the delegate.
The setup is pretty simple. One can turn on the delegate feature from Settings -> Accounts and Import -> Grant Access To Your Account.
Once the access has been granted, a drop down option appears besides the email id on the top right corner of the screen. In my case, I have delegated s.anuvrat to take care of my singh.anuvrat mails.
Now when I click on the singh.anuvrat link in the Delegated Accounts sections, a new tab opens up to show the inbox of singh.anuvrat. I can compose any mail on behalf of singh.anuvrat.
Gmail displays that the email is sent from singh.anuvrat but by s.anuvrat. And when you click the reply button, the default to-adress is the singh.anuvrat address.

I received this from my dad:-
I Hope you get this on time,sorry I didn’t inform you about my trip in Cyprus for a program,I’m presently in Nicosia and am having some difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money and other valuable things were kept.I want you to assist me with a loan of 2500Euro to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home.I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively,I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with,I’ll Refund the money back to you as soon as i return, let me know if you can be of any help. I don’t have a phone where i can be reached. Please let me know immediately.
It was complete with my dad’s signature as well. A search in google for the line i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money and other valuable things were kept and I knew that it was a spam. And unbelievably, gmail did not send it to spam directly!

For some reason Google have decided to use the network settings of windows. So when you try to configure proxy you are taken to the internet explorer settings. Now in my case, the company has set a default proxy and I am not priviledged to modify or bypass it. And this proxy had blocked web-mail sites like gmail. And since chrome was using the same proxy settings, I was unable to access gmail on chrome as well.
Mozilla had no problem as I could select the “no proxy” option in its network settings and choose not to use the system proxy. I needed something similar for chrome as well. Some googling around and I found the solution.
Simply append
--proxy-server=
to the Target field, which can be accessed by right clicking the chrome icon and selecting the properties option. Now I can happily access my web-mail from within the office.

Whats the use of a N72 if you do not utilise all of its features. So I thought of getting my gmail activated on mobile. I found a set of instructions using imap or pop to connect and retrieve the messages. But they were always giving me web server not found error, and it was really annoying.
However, after a few more searches, I found an alternative way. This one might be costlier (I have no idea), but it pretty much emulates the gmail, so no complains. This is how you can get mails on your phone -
Done ! It was so easy I couldn’t believe it. The application also retrieved the labels that I have created on the gmail. There are options to selectively view the mails in each of the labels too. Its just wonderful. Now I shall be able to access my gmail from any part of the world without the need of a computer.
