RE: I'm done with GMail
I was going to go off on 'WTF are you on about?' but I read the 'inbox zero' page first & saw this paragraph,
"Gmail's made me see the value of having very few actual folders for storing new and archived mail. It makes it much easier to track and organize your mail on the fly, plus Google's search and labeling tools let you confidently shunt items out of your inbox constantly without fear of having stuff disappear."
I think that says it all really.
