message in Gmail on your device, it will be marked as read in a Web browser.
And a message that you send using a browser, or even a draft of a message, is
visible in Gmail on the device.
●
Gmail is conversation-based : Every related message is grouped in your Inbox
as a single conversation tread. In other email applications, replies to messages
are sent as individual messages, making it difficult to keep track of related
messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow conversations with its conversation
threads.
●
Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders : By tagging messages with labels,
you can organize your conversations in many different ways. Whereas in other
email applications, each message can only be stored in one folder. For
example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with your mother about
your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can
look for the all messages containing either label. Using folders, you'd have to
store the message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave” folder, not both.
●
Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile : Some features are only
accessible on your computer browser. The best place to organize and learn
about Gmail is the Web. For example, you can't use the Gmail application on
the device to create the labels and filters that you use to organize your
messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the Web offers complete
information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the
features of Gmail.
