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
