Trying Gmail For A Week

Aug 19, 2010
Category Technology

Ever since I switched to the Mac, I’ve had N (where N is a suitably large number) tell me that I should switch to Gmail from Exchange.  I finally decided to try it for a week and see if it works for me.  Given my Mac experience – where I had to commit and really use it, I’ve decided to do the same on Gmail.

For now, I’m just going to use Gmail (instead of Google Apps) because I don’t want to go through the hell of switching the feld.com domain since I’ve got a bunch of other people (e.g. my family members) on it in a variety of configurations.  That’ll limit me a little as I won’t be able to use the Apps Marketplace, but the benefit is I’ll be able to mess around with a variety of other Gmail stuff.

If you’ve got Gmail addons, hints, tips, and trick, leave them for me here.  At the end of next week, I’ll either be switching to Gmail or heading back to Mac Mail against my Exchange server.
