Better Gmail
by Chris Hardwick on August 21, 2008
Gmail rules. It’s simple, it doesn’t matter what platform you’re on and it has a great spam trapper. It could use help in the looks department, however. Gmail is what your house would look like if it were decorated by a hospital. Fortunately, Gina Trapani over at Lifehacker continues her valiant efforts to pull the thick glasses off of Gmail and take its hair out of that messy bun so we can see what a truly beautiful girl it is. (I think that may actually be the plot of House Bunny)
Use macros, hide your spam count or even satisfy your inner Buffalo Bill by changing skins. The latest update even integrates Google calendar INTO YOUR GMAIL!!! It’s like having a super hot secretary who will have sex with you like you were on Mad Men or something!!!
Better Gmail only works with Firefox, so stop using those other crappy browsers and download it here.
that looks cool! i use outlook or entourage for all my emails though, so i never need to visit the actual site. but it’s still the best free email system out there, in my opinion.
google for lyfe!
Talk to me when Gmail lets you make folders.
But you can create labels and make filters to direct mail into them. Plus, you can add extensions to your email address to tag specific types of email with “+thing”. For example, if you want to direct dolphin porn emails away from your inbox your email could be [email protected]. Then you tell your gmail to skip anything with “+dolphinporn” past your inbox and into that tagbox, or you can have it automatically delete entirely.
Incidentally, “zoophiliacs” believe they can have loving relationships with animals, like dolphins, in which the animals derive pleasure from the couplings. Not like those slutty beastiality people who are just in it for themselves.
chris: I’m sure you know this but you can set up gmail in your mail program as a pop or imap.
Uh, classy people call it “dolphinerotica.”
Thank you for the tag tip; my husband explained the same thing right after I posted here. I will try to get used to that.
This is the best thing to come to GMail since GMail. Worst thing to come to GMail? Invite codes.
This is awesome.
glad somebody finally did something about it.
