Gmail Sucks

I’ve decided to delete my Gmail email accounts for good. The UI to manage emails is completely worthless. Try isolating thousands of emails to move to a “label” and see what happens. Even though I have attempted to move the emails to a new label they still remain in my inbox! Dumb. Now I have to go through the painful process of downloading my entire message collection via POP for long term storage. This will consume precious hours of my time and I have Google to thank for this waste.

I’m now searching for an alternative email solution that will be sustainable and easy to manage. My preference at the moment is live.com. I’ve had a live.com address for years and it has remained easy to manage and frustration free. It seems like a logical transition.

If you know of other free email solutions, please let me know your thoughts.
