I've been definitely having problems with the system hamging when retrieving messages in the last couple weeks. It could be a browser issue, but seems to span different browsers.
Someone prefers <i>Zimbra</i> to Gmail? <i>Zimbra</i>, of all things? Well, each to their own, I suppose. In my experience, it would be hard to find a webmail client that is worse than Zimbra.
I haven't had problems with Gmail losing my mail, but I've found it hard to sift through conversations to find what I need. Search doesn't always help with that.<p>Maybe I'm old, but I still like Yahoo! Mail's old web 1.0 interface. Maybe that's just because I know all the quirks after years, but I can find what I need quickly and store messages easily.
No, works perfectly via POP3/SMTP and, seldom, web. Although, last week I had some problems with GTalk using Adium, it connected but the contact list didn't refresh.
no. No problems with my gmail account. specific information with supporting evidence would also be nice for an article this high in the HN news rankings...
