I think I've got the best of both worlds, email and forum, by using GMail.

Ken H.

I started out running GMC.net as e-mail, but not with Gmail (more on that) and one of the things that drove me crazy was the number of replies with no quote and sometimes in a highjack without a subject change.

So, just what does "That is what I did." mean?

Gmail is not bad, but I have seven e-mail accounts.
Why?
To separate the incoming messages automatically and allow instant prioritization.
2 Accounts are for the boat biz - was 3, but I dropped 1
1 Gmail account is just for GMC stuff
1 Gmail account is for my own casual stuff
1 ISP account is a throw away, where I send people I don't want to hear from but demand an @ddress
1 ISP account is for casual personal stuff
1 ISP account is for casual family stuff (we both read it)
and a final ISP account is for serious family stuff.
The system works quite well and I can read them all at once when I open T-bird on the laptop.

GMail is real annoying in the native cloud version because it will not even accommodate the 2 accounts that I have. Just like most webmail accounts, it is one (1)(uno)(ein)(ichi) account per page, so reading both Gmail accounts in native is a major PITA. You have to log off, go back to home and tell you are not who they think you are, enter a new username and password and go back in. With Gmail on a slow tether or some pinched wifi, this can take a while.

Can you tell I work E-mail harder than most? We have had @ddresses for over twenty years and if you don't have an @ in your name, you will very rarely hear from me.

Before I carried wire (internet access) in the office(GMC), having the e-mail stored on my own drive was very important. massages from clients were always available to me. It is less so now, because I tether and business (VERY discretionary in nature) has just plain evaporated in the last three years.
