[Electronics-talk] considering switching email providers

[Jacob Struiksma]

I would setup Gmail as IMAP and then use outlook or another email client
application. IMAP stands for internet mail application protocol  so then you
can access and do things with your email either on computer or phone or
tablet  
I have my Gmail account sent up this way as IMAP and use outlook on my
computer also use Gmail app on my phone the emails stay on the Gmail server
and you are just using email client like outlook or other email client.

He's correct in that I have a Gmail account which I use strictly for YOutube
but have POP3 email set up for it on Outlook.

What features bother you? Are you saying that deleting messages is more
arduous on Gmail then it is using Outlook? Does this mean you're using the
web interface for Gmail? If so, have you considered using a desktop
application for Gmail? I use Thunderbird on Windows and Linux. Windows Live
Mail is also an option. Of course, so it Outlook.

Just to clarify, are you looking for another email provider and want to
compare it's web interface to that of Gmail? You're using JAWS and Windows,
but what browser do you use? I've used Gmail web interface a bit, and I find
their mobile interface especially nice. Gmail's main web interface isn't any
better or worse than the others I've used, which have mainly been from
ISP's, like Road Runner. I've heard good things about AOL's web interface to
their email, and I think I read that Yahoo! 
Mail's web interface was improved a bunch recently. BTW, have you tried
Gmail's simple interface? I hear that's supposed to be more accessible and
have less clutter.
