Gmail is Different
Gmail is web-based
: Your messages are stored on-line, on
TM
servers; but you read, write, and organize messages by
using the
Gmail
application on your phone, or by using a web
browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google
servers, you can search your entire message history, backed by
the speed and power of Google search.
Actions that you take in one place are reflected everywhere. For
example, if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it will be
marked as read in a web browser. And a message that you send
using a browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail
on the phone.
Gmail is conversation-based
: Each message and all replies to it
are grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email
applications, replies to messages are spread across your Inbox,
typically by date received, so a message and the replies to it are
separated by other messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow the
thread of a conversation.
Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders
: By tagging
messages with labels, you can organize your conversations in
many different ways. Whereas in other email applications, each
message can live in only one folder. For example, with Gmail you
can label a conversation with your mother about your brother's
birthday present with both
“
Mom
”
and
“
Dave.
”
Later, you can look
for the all messages containing either label. Using folders, you'd
have to store the message in the
“
Mom
”
folder or the
“
Dave
”
folder, not both.
Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile
: Some features are
only accessible on your computer browser The best place to
organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For example, you can't
use the
Gmail
application on the phone to create the labels and
filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a
message. Gmail on the web offers complete information about
the service, so it's the best place to learn about all of the features
of Gmail.
