Not for production of course, but for sending test messages there's nothing wrong with it. ;-) Could anyone speculate as to why a user on gmail would have the nerve to bitch about the service? They are getting what they paid for, after all! ;-) I will agree that some of these features (or lack of them) are annoying,
however Gmail does have the advantage of being accessible from wherever I am, and being a whole heck of a lot faster than my ISP's Netmail service, for example. I haven't yet found the perfect email service/client, though. Maybe I should post here when I do!
