Just getting to know gmail. Is it weird or what? Too many idiosyncrasies for me. Too many bugs perhaps? I'm too old for this useless horse shit.

Gmail is one of the better free email clients. They keep adding useful features like unsend, scheduled send, confidential mode....and it handles spam better than anyone else. It does take a bit of tinkering to get it customized to your liking, tho.

You can use another client to access gmail.
The apple client works fine, simple to setup.

There are many other clients you can use.

I personally love it. I use all of the Google docs everyday

Yup, I also enjoy Gmail, what is your issue with it, specifically?

Gmail isn't so bad...Google Docs on the other hand [for a MS power user] is like death by a thousand slices.
