Gmail usage

with 2 comments

You know all those privacy problems and conspiracy theories about Gmail. Thanks to hamid, I’ve got one. And I am using it the best possible way.

Though you can not create folders but you can tag your mails based on subject ro TO/FROM address. So you can label mails from different mailing list and categorize them using label. And thats all.

I moved my high volume subscriptions to gmail which includes freebsd-current, freebsd-tinderbox, freebsd-fs, freebsd-hackers, freebsd-isp, sunmanagers and postfix-users.

I love Gmail.
