ok now that I’ve been using my awesome Gmail account for a few days (thanks thom!) I gotta write a review.

EXCELLENT

The searching is lightning quick, I’ll be able to store years’ worth of data without ever having to delete (I have years’ worth in my current mailbox and it’s only 86 megs…less than 9% of Gmail storage), the conversation message view is awesome, the keyboard shortcuts are quick and efficient, the address auto-completion is 31337, and the labels (like folders but better) leave a good taste in my mouth.  The spam catcher is at least as good or better than SpamAssassin on my machine.

Things it needs:

1. Ability to save drafts
2. Remote API for new mail notifications
3. partial word search (searching for “supp” won’t find “support”)
4. Ability to import mbox files.  I want to move 3 years worth of mail to gmail
5. Konqueror support
6. GPG support…at least signing and checking sigs

Anyway, I think it’s gonna be my primary email account now.  Sad but true.
