Gmail is Different
Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored on-line, on Google
TM
servers but you can 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 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 only be located in
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 all the messages containing 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: Some features are only
accessible on your computer browser. The best place to organize and learn
about Gmail is the web. For example, 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.
