Why is the Gmail service beta, is it a good idea to completely change to gmail?

gmail is beta because they still develop and test it. beta means that there are no guaranties about it, but doesn't mean that there are errors.


i am using gmail for some time and i hadn't problems with it.


i strongly recommend it (although i still have my yahoo address for old friends who still email me there)





good luck

Still in testing mode most probably





I like Gmail.. all my spam goes to the spam box s no problem there..
Reply:I have a gmail account. I like it, but i still use yahoo as the main email program. It`s beta because it`s still being tested. I like it, and had no problems with it. I like it because it offers a large variety of services (like automatic mail forwarding, mobile access, POP3 etc.) for free. You can get an account only by invitation. So all in all I like it, but won`t switch 100% `cause it`s still beta, even though it works fine.
Reply:no gmail sucks


theres no spam filter so thats all u get.
Reply:While I suppose you can say there's no "smart" spam filter, Gmail does a good job of initially filtering out the junk emails.





I've been using Gmail for about a year, and use it as my primary email (purchasing online, communication, etc.) and I love it. Ans yes, while it's still in Beta and has the possibility of malfunctioning, it's been doing pretty well so far, and probably will in the future.
Reply:think before completely moving to gmail as i have experianced issues while downloading mails using POP3. Many times it didnt work. Problem is sevior for dialup users. Always keep a second mail id.
