Gmail is different

Gmail is web-based
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's 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
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
labels, you can organize your conversations in many different ways. 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 message under 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: Use the web to organize
Gmail
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.

address, and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address. But if you want to
read messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other
email account), you use the Email application. See "Email" on page 175.
