Hands down. Really: it is the most frustrating, clunky piece of sh1t I have ever had to deal with to get email - and I go back to the days of logging in via DOS to UCTVAX and UCTHPX!!
The latest insult is this - which I get after a banner which says my mailbox is corrupted, and needs to be rebuilt, and that this may take a few minutes:
It has been saying that for 30 minutes....
I have had enough. I am already in the cloud (yes, looked at from both sides now, thank you B-), I have my Gmail account (retroid.raving@gmail.com, seeing as you asked - thanks, Vernon!), I have imported all my addresses and I autoforward my mail. Frak Gwise. FOREVER!!!!!

Bloody academics - heads in the cloud as always :-) - I await the Raving Retroid when you next try and send off a fairly substantial attachment via GMail... and you wait, and wait, and wait. And then it drops the attachment and sends the email. Nice touch. But then these things are sent to try us. I went the ThunderBird route (via imap), on my laptop. So far, so good. I'm not holding my breath though.
Assume you are doing the whole 'cloud' thing? Google docs and calendar make for great collaboration possibilities.

Hey T_Ed...no, not completely in the clouds; I can see I will be getting there if the bandwidth woes bwcome wills, however!

I did GMail since the inception of Groupsex (so named by someone at ICTS, because - as they said - "we're all f*cked!") and never had a moment's regret.
Welcome to planet normal, cde Retroid!
