I am enjoying the sleek UI that gmail provides you. For once I seem to be happy emailing without outlook express or Microsoft Outlook.
If you have a gmail id then do check out http://www.bladam.com/archives/0404202120.htm, some useful tips in there. I am quite happy about the dot tip [My email id is my Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com]. I wonder what will happen when somebody actually chooses my FirstnameLastname@gmail.com.
To check for name availability try
http://www.google.com/accounts/CheckAvailability?service=mail&continue=http://www.google.com&Email=YOURNAMEHERE
Too bad I can’t have pooja@gmail.com :(
Nonetheless, gmail did help while I was on vacation.
