Moving to gmail / google apps

20090827-3

One of the emails accounts I used the most recently got moved to google apps by the person in charge of the domain (someone I work with). That means that now I almost don’t have the need for a desktop email client. Even though I love my thunderbird, it’s time to let go, I’ll miss it.

The main advantage of this change is that now I can access all and any of my emails at any moment from any pc connected to the internet. The secondary advantage is that I can do that via the cool Gmail interface. It’s a bit different than working with a desktop app, obviously, but it’s cool nevertheless. I still need to get used to this new way of using email (I have a couple gmail accounts, but I don’t use them as much as I’d like).

I think I’m going to love using gmail as my main email client. Are you still using a desktop client, or have you moved to “the cloud” already?

By the way, just a small tip for symbian / s60 users. I use the official gmail mobile application on my nokia N97, and I like it very much. It’s not integrated with the OS, and it’s a java application, but still, it’s a good application, and it lets you access several gmail accounts (not at the same time). If you want to know more, go read about this app at n97fanatics.

Ok, that’s it for now….back to work…you too!
