Re: g mail

I use G Mail and I agree it is not easy to send attachments. If I want to send a photo I copy it to desktop and then slide it across on to e mail. Its the easiest way for me.

Re: g mail

I also use gmail and if I send a photo through I use Photobucket and then send it through on the attachment.

I don't like the new style on gmail now of writing emails now, I preferred the original.

Re: g mail

I have never had any trouble with Gmail or Hotmail/Outlook but I use a mail reader which does all the hard work for me.

I use one called Thunderbird however if you are using Windows there is one called Windows Live Mail (its the successor to Outlook Express - I just prefer Thunderbird).

In Gmail on line you have to go into your 'settings' and turn on Imap but that is easy enough once the mailreader is set up on your computer you never have to log on again and the recent Gmail changes are a thing of the past.



You can do all the things like attachments in your mailreader, it also has add ins with multiple functions.
