Gmail vs Mail apps
0 Comments Published by khairulazizi February 23rd, 2007 in apple.talk, school of information future technology, school of online business.Is there anybody who’s living online doesn’t have email? Well anyway, managing emails is quite something when you have a few accounts when some with your domain, some with Gmail and etc. But let’s talk about which email application would be your preference first.
Since I’m converting from pc to mac last 2 years (thank you god for this), I started to use Mail application instead of the Outlook then. I found it very interesting and easy to use as Mail apps has simple interface beside the nice memorable rocket sound when you send email. The navigation is quite user friendly and standard.
One thing that I found very interesting is the search function which applied in the Mail apps. Using the same Spotlight search function (Mac Os x), you can easily track any mail by entering keyword. The result will displayed with ranking.

2 years later that is today, I started to use Gmail instead of Mail apps. The “thread conversation” feature (as per explained & introduced by Azwan) really change my email context function (plus, luckilly I have signed Gmail under my name last time). In a simple word, it’s like chatting by email where you can see all your sent and reply mail under one person in a same page. This means that you can track your conversation easily without wasting time to click on sent mail folder and get back to the inbox or visually confuse by text wording of the reply/foward mail. Below is an example of my email conversation with Azwan.

What is the best result of having this feature anyway? Imagine you have online business and with this kind of feature, you can easily save time doing customer support with specific order or client!
So, at the end of the day, I delete the Mail apps icon from my dock and started to use Gmail heavily.
