How to Hate Gmail

I converted to Gmail after spending over 10 years with AOL. All of my friends have done nothing but praise Gmail, but I cannot stand it. Here are the things that I do not like about Gmail. Please feel free to comment if I am incorrect in any of my assertions.

Instructions

1. Notice that you cannot sort your mail by date, user or attachments like you can in AOL. I used to love sorting my mail according to whether or not it had attachments.

2. Notice that you cannot do drop and drag attachments. As someone who sends a lot of attachments, drop and drag is incredibly useful. Now I have to locate the files in the finder and figure out what folder they are in and then upload them one at a time. This is time consuming when you send a lot of attachments.

3. Notice that you cannot have multiple email windows open, so if you are drawing information from several emails it is very slow, as you can only have one window open at a time.

4. Notice how hard it is to make groups. You cannot just copy and paste your old email addresses into a group.

5. Notice that if you want to reply to an email with only some of the selected text you cannot. You have to reply and erase all of the text that you do not want in it.
