OT Gmail question
Can anyone suggest a better news group for this question? I've generally not had good luck with company support. My Gmail ap, basic HTML, sends the email message if I hit Enter after completing the Subject line. I do this from force of habit embarassingly sp? often. Is there any way to stop this or at least offer me an 'Are you sure?'? TIA -- "Where there's smoke there's toast!" Anon |

You should be able to use regular email clients. There will be some functional differences by using the alternate protocols, which I can't rhyme off right now. http://email.about.com/od/accessingg...3_Settings.htm Some of the popular emailer providers, offer some of these services for free, and others are charged services. Presumably there is a revenue stream difference, if you switch to POP3 and they can't "monetize" what you're doing and make a few coins for themselves. Google will always be able to scan all your incoming and outgoing mail, to collect "advertising hints". But with a regular email client, all they can do is "spam you" to make coin. And they won't keep customers very long if they do that :-) Paul |
