[Electronics-talk] considering switching email providers

[Mike Freeman]

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.
