Re: Gmail ???

There is a good use of that kind of stuff for the Flickr/photobucket
uploader built into Flock <http://www.flock.com>, and if you ever took a
look at box.net <http://www.box.net>, it has roughly the same drag and drop
interface I think you're talking about.

Agree with all the comments I've read here. I switched about 6 months
ago on my work account (i.e. major volume...) and have been very
happy. I find I'm losing things less and keep up with the flow
better...

One point that I haven't seen anyone mention is the power of keyboard
shortcuts. I deal with so many emails that I've gotten hooked on the
speed that only keyboard shortcuts can offer. Typically this has been
a major reason why I avoided web email systems for daily use.

Gmail has fixed this! I only see a major speed boost when I turn on
the keyboard shortcuts. This is actually make-or-break for me. Y to
archive, R to reply, etc etc. It makes quick replies actually quick.

Now, the only downside (interface-wise) is with attachments. In email
readers I liked to copy and paste attachments into a message. Oh
well, now I copy & paste the path to the file and use the file browser
dialog. It's OK, but if gmail could use AJAX to do some drag&drop
stuff--would be cool. Has anyone seen this type interface gadget on a
webpage?

Cheers,
Matthew Clarke
