Atlantis in bits

I am just writing to share some of my experience of using GMail. It will involve the firefox extensions, the methodology to manage mails and also the clients that I am using.

[Firefox Extension]

My firefox has three extensions working together with GMail:

1. Better GMail:

It enhances GMail with over 25 additional features, some of which are very useful, such as Attachment Reminder, Filter Assistant and Links composed in GMail.

2. GMail Manager:

Just a incoming mail reminder, if you are using GTalk PC Client, probably you don’t need this.

3. GTDInbox:

I adopt some concepts from GTD to manage my task. Previously, before I got my Treo 650, I leverage GMail + GTDInbox + GCalendar to arrange my life and task. Although now Treo 650 becomes my primary tool, GMail is still a very important “inbox”(a concept from GTD, please refer to some material about GTD).

It’s very surprised that in my backup account I found GMail has added IMAP feature. Although I still prefer to POP3, as I need to backup mails, IMAP still amazed me. It seems GMail will become more professional and will take more and more business markets. I will give additional comments later. The screen shot is attached below:
