About three weeks ago, I decided to see if I could use Gmail as my full time mail client. I had been using Google Reader as my feed reader for some time, and decided to give Gmail another try. (I had been using Gmail to archive stuff, but only used it to read my mail when I was traveling.) So far, there are just a few things that I have found that I don’t like as well as the way kmail worked, and the experiment is a success so far.
One tool that I recently started using to improve my Gmail experience is the Better Gmail Firefox extension from Gina Trapani of Lifehacker. She incorporated a number of <a href=”http://www.greasespot.net/”>Greasemonkey</a> scripts into one, easy to install Firefox extension. I like the keyboard macros, which extends the set of keyboard controls that are built into Gmail.
