I broke down and signed up for a G-mail account but am frustrated because it lumps my original e-mail to someone and all of the responses back and forth together?!
How do I change my G-mail account so my inbox just has one e-mail per line if that makes sense?!
I haven’t looked into it for years, just search on “free email” I guess.
I’d seriously look into setting up a desktop client and just POP accessing your yahoo/gmail acc’ts. That way, when you’re at home, you don’t need to log in or read those obnoxious ads - but if you choose to leave a copy on their server as well, you can still access all of your mails from anywhere with web access.
I used Yahoo most of my adult life, but find there website and company culture has changed and really turns me off.
Yahoo is all about advertising and reads like a tabloid/reality show. (I find all of there “How to improve your love life” articles and pictures that they sneak in to the news section and homepage very immature and offensive.)
I also don’t like Google’s plans for word-domination but figured I would give them a try.
Maybe there is another less obnoxious free choice?
It’s Gmail’s way of doing things, in “conversations”. I quite like it, as it means there are fewer rows in the inbox. When you get a new email, if it’s a part of the conversation, the row is highlighted as “new” in the inbox and if you open it, only the new message is shown, but there are tabs above it you can click if you want to see the previous messages in the conversation. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it’s pretty neat.
I quite like it too actually.
It did take some getting used to though, and it is such a non-standard and enforced mail rule that’s strictly to make Google look unique it seems. If you wanna try so hard to create a pseudo-monopoly, a staunch “no, you’re wrong, just get used to it” attitude is a luxury you’ve kinda given up if you ask me.
