How is mail better than Gmail??

Hello,
I have been using web-based gmail for a long time now and really love it. For those of you that use Mail to access your gmail account, what do you like better about Mail???
Just wanted to get some opinions before really thinking about switching...
Thanks.

Something funny happened to me today. I setup Mail to POP my gmail account. It downloaded about 1.5 gigs of mail off there and during that time I was still using web access just fine. Then after a few hours I get an "unusual usage: lockdown in sector 4" message!!
Our system indicates unusual usage of your account. In order to protect Gmail users from potentially harmful use of Gmail, this account has been disabled for up to 24 hours.

Has anyone seen this?!?!

  • Is mac mail better than gmail?

    Right now I use gmail but am interested in giving mail on my mac a shot. Is it worth it? Right now I dont see any features that compare to gmail.

    Sometimes people refer to MobileMe mail services as Mac mail, but that is different from the application Mail (known as an email client) that works with many mail accounts and servers.
    If you are trying to compare MobileMe with Gmail, it is not an equal comparison. MobileMe, a subscription service, provides much more than email service, and you would have to read about that in total, and judge its desirability on factors other than emailing.

    Of course you can.
    Just develop a Java/.NET application that will call RFCs through JCo/.NET Connector and DB's through any driver you want.

  • Is apple mail better than outlook

    That is the question I'd like answered please? I am a student and will be installing office for mac but I'd like to know which is the better of the 2 email clients  i.e.. Outlook or Apples built in client? I am asking this because I have an iPhone, iPad and MBP so I want iCloud to work between them all

    The answer to that question is very subjective and difficult to answer but I can share some incite based on my own experience. Ultimately the best way to judge is to try them both and see which one you prefer. A couple of thing to keep in mind.
    Apple Mail is a better app if you are connecting to mail servers that use the IMAP protocol like iCloud mail, Google Gmail or Yahoo mail whereas Outlook is better if you are connecting to servers that use Microsoft's ActiveSync like an Exchange server.
    Outlook integrates contacts and calendar functionality which also work best with ActiveSync servers. On the Mac Contacts and Calendars are handled by separate apps that use the open CalDAV and CardDAV protocols that are used by iCloud and Gmail.
    Outlook stores its mail, contacts and calendar data in one large file whereas Apple Mail stores each email as a separate file. If you use Time Machine for backups backing up the Outlook database takes up a lot more room because the entire database file needs to be backed up whereas as with Apple Mail only the new emails files need to be backed taking up very little room in a Time Machine backup.
    Ultimately, if you are going to use iCloud for mail, contacts and calendar your will be better served by Apple's apps. If you are connecting to mail, contact and calendar servers that use Microsoft's ActiveSync then Outlook might serve you better.

  • How is Curve better than Bold?

    Hi! I have a Bold 9000. I heard the Curve is lighter than the Bold (why?), but as far as I know, they are otherwise extremely similar. What are the differences and pros/cons of each, and why do they make both?
    Thanks!
    Justin Dutoit

    Assuming you mean the 8900 Curve since you posted in this section...
    The Bold has 3G, for one thing.
    the 8900 has double the memory, and better camera.
    both have Wifi.
    compare them side-by-side here:

  • How to get better than 5.2MB/s transfer rate from USB 2.0 on Mac Mini

    G'day,
    I've got a circa 2007 Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM, running Snow Leopard. Connected to this is a USB 2.0 500GB Seagate Freeagent drive from circa 2008. As far as I know, the USB disk is free of errors.
    I am trying to use dd with a block size of 1MB to transfer a 250GB file from an Ethernet mounted Time Capsule drive to the USB disk on /dev/disk1.
    A dd from the Time Capsule to the /dev/null gives me a transfer rate of ~35-40MB/s. However, when the target is /dev/disk1, the transfer rate is only around 5MB/s. I checked the system profiler and disk1 is connected to the USB High Speed Bus.
    Any clues on how to improve USB 2.0 transfer performance?

    Fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue since I was trying to write to the raw block device with dd which is as close to a pure sequential write scenario as one is likely to encounter (e.g. no small block, random access involved)
    From a Linux host, I was able to dd to a file on the disk's file system at 20MB/s.
    I'll run some other tests with another disk to see whether the issue is peculiar to the disk or to the Mac's USB subsystem.

  • How to use Yahoo or Gmail instead of Mail to send emails from Web Browser?

    When I'm on the web & want to send a web page or link as an email, how do I change the default so I can use either my Yahoo or Gmail email account?
    I don't want Apple Mail to open, but I want it sent from my internet email account.

    A rather primitive way to use GMail via browser, is to
    get a second browser for use with the web mail, & also
    get Google Notifier, so you can select GMail to run in a
    browser of your choice via Notifier.
    For mine, I use Camino, a decently quick and current
    browser; and have chosen it as the system Default
    browser (you can do that in Safari) so Camino opens
    if/when you click on something that needs a browser.
    Notifier can run in the main Menu bar, and does OK.
    As my systems all have at least four current browsers,
    and I often find my use centers around Firefox, the
    second browser used for web mail does not affect my
    use of the primary browser when doing online tasks.
    And I can hide the open web mail browser in the Dock.
    So, this is my primitive cure for using web mail via browser.
    This, due to the fact I never use any client Mail application.
    And when I leave my computer (it is left asleep) I am sure to
    use the Camino browser 'reset' command to wipe sessions.
    (If you have your computer set up to require a password to
    function on awakening from sleep, that can help keep it safe.)
    Not sure how you could handle Yahoo mail, probably with a
    login link in a browser, so you can click on it; or have the
    Yahoo login a home page in a limited-use secure browser.
    Probably there are other and better ideas; since I don't use
    an email client app and don't have email other than Gmail,
    this is a primitive way to make it work. Gmail Notifier is OK.
    Not sure how supportive it may be, but it works in 10.5.8.
    {And this allows one to choose an IP or other supplied email
    account via Mail, separate from the gmail accounts.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I use one gmail address on two different macbooks in 'mail'?

    I'm using one business gmail address. Me and my girlfriend both have a macbook. Now the gmail address is linked to my macbook. But she wants to use it as well. Unfortunately the 'mail' system won't allow her to sync with the gmail address. And I get messages from gmail saying that someone tried to log in to my account. Which is something I certainly want, but can't change. Does anyone now how I can use 1 gmail address on two different mac's? Thanks

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Keep on getting double notification  from my default mail app, and gmail app, how do i make google my primary one?

    keep on getting double notification  from my default mail app, and gmail app, how do i make google my primary one? so that i dont have to get doulbe notifications  on both apps

    This is probably not the answer to all your questions, but I am sure it answers some.
    Unlike Word and InDesign, FrameMaker's anchored frames, which hold graphics, "hang" from their insertion points, typically at the end of the paragraph. An anchored frame that follows a paragraph is set to be below the line, the line being the last line in the paragraph. If you turn on View > Text Symbols, you will see a marker that indicates the point from which the anchored frame is hanging.
    If the anchored frame is taller than the available space, it is moved to the next page ALONG with that last line. If the paragraph style/tag has a widow/orphan lines number that is more than 1, then that number of lines are also moved to the next page, because the paragraph tag says to keep that many together, EVEN if there is space at the bottom of the previous page.
    So, you can set the widow/orphan lines number smaller OR as you have done put a blank line before the anchored frame, which now holds the marker for the anchored frame, and set its font size to 2 pt (the lowest FrameMaker allows) and its line height to zero. This is the standard workaround UNLESS you use the line above the anchored frame as the title/caption of a figure, which is also a typical way of dealing with FrameMaker's ways.
    To my knowledge, one cannot change the default of the checked cropped box. Maybe others know of some way to change this.
    There is no page break in FrameMaker, hence there is no symbol for it. In the paragraph designer for the paragraph, you set to Start of the paragraph to Top of page. Top of page is FrameMaker's equivalent to a page break. To "remove" a page break, set the Start of the paragraph to Anywhere.
    Since you are new to FrameMaker, I suggest reading throught the User Manual that comes with FrameMaker. You will likely find the answers to most of your questions there.
    Hope this helps,

    Thank you, "the-edmeister" -- You render a great service, one that lifts my spirits.
    Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.

  • How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

    I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?
