I cannot understand why Sent Mail cannot be ‘archived’ from the Sent Items folder.

Can this be fixed , please ?

Do you have RSS feeds running on your site? And if so, where I can get your RSS feeds? Which reader can you advise me to use?

Ok, so IMAP isn’t an option for Gmail, but is there another protocol that could download or synchronize emails on multiple computers? Perhaps it is time for a new protocol that is based on tags.

I don’t think Google will implement IMAP just because their whole reason for creating all of their products was to get people to use the web. It’s more advantageous to keep users using their web client.

IMAP is not possible since GMail is based on tags and IMAP is based on a folder structure. You’d have to put a copy (!) of a mail with multiple tags into several “folders” in an IMAP-account.
There are no “folders” in gmail. Tags are something completely different…think about it!

I would like a sort ascending/descending feature for all columns… subjects, names, dates, sizes…

it should be mentioned that I’ve been a gmail user for 3 years now and I will not go back, it was love at first sight, however:

1. how about REAL rich text editing and the ability to embed graphics (wysiwyg), this IS the web after all.
2. ability to remove or add messages from/to conversations without totally deleting it.
3. ability to choose to NOT group by conversations! it can be an annoying feature.
4. if not dran’n'drop for attachments, then allow multiple files to be selected for attachment. sheesh, get with the program.

finally

5. shag off with the blocking .exe and archive extensions! Jeez!

Has anyone ever tried to redesign Gmail’s (ugly yet simple) interface? Any designers in here….

I second IMAP. POP3 just isn’t good enough anymore.

Very simple feature that is missing: When I add or edit a contact, I should be able to also add them to a contact group at that time. Currently, I have to save the contact, then find him or her in the contact list, check the box and add them from the groups drop-down box at the top of the page, which is quite inconvenient. Also, adding contacts to groups when I have searched for the contact and am only viewing the search results does not work.

Something that I miss is being able to search for emails with no labels on them. In case you happen to “lose” (archive) something, it’s almost impossible to find it again. Sometimes I even want to create a new label after a while to archive those emails under it, but how to find them all again ?

And, of course, the ability to related/unrelate conversations. Sometimes the subject gets messed up with MIME conversion for special characters, for instance, and Gmail can’t put them in the same conversation, which is annoying.
