How to make full use of your gmail account.

Gmail's all the craze with 1GB of free storage and a max attachemnt size of 10MB (wow). but not may ppl know the many cool stuff behind gmail that makes it gmail. Here's me list:

1) Keyboard shortcuts http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6594&topic=-1

-Keyboard shortcuts save you time by allowing you to explore Gmail quickly without taking your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse. These shortcuts also make it easier for you to navigate through Gmail's features, like Conversation View, which allows you to see all of your messages stacked neatly on top of each other, like a deck of cards.

To turn these case-sensitive shortcuts on or off, click 'Settings,' then pick an option next to 'Keyboard shortcuts.'

2) Awesome Firefox support; easy access to your gmail

-If you have Microsoft's Internet Explorer and that's ur default browser, ur in big trouble- tons of bugs and hacks and vulnerabilities and what makes it the WORST BROWSER TO USE. Great safe alternatives like Firefox, Mozilla, and Opera do exsist. Firefox's me favourite cos of it's clean, sleek interface and g8 gmail integration.
