Gmail is Different

Gmail is web-based : Your
messages are stored on-line, on
Google 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
86
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.
