gMail is GREAT

... ok so you have 2gigs of storage and you can access it from any browser etc... But now you also can preview a conversation by just right-clicking it.

First off if you don't have firefox then you should seriously consider praying and then go to mozilla.com and download it.

If you don't have a gmail account then go get one. Then go get greasemonkey. Now if you don't know, greasemonkey can do just about anything (provided you script the actions out). Its a great way to provide extra functionality to already one of the greatest browsers out there.

Ok so you have a new gmail account, and you have greasemonkey extension installed on firefox. Now you need the scripts installed. Head over to persistent.info and read through what he has to offer. I found the preview bubbles a great help in thumbing through email without having to get out of the inbox view. Another great one to get are the gmail macros. This will provide the functionality of not having to highlight/select all the messages you want to delete and go through the drop down menu to delete messages.
