A open letter to gmail users with mobile devices...
Well, despite Gmail being a free product the fact remains Google needs users to generate revenue and if Google feels high and mighty enough to think they can get away with releasing a faulty product it's high time they are smacked down the reality. I personally haven't utilized my AOL e-mail account in over eight years but giving the Google's stubbornness and lack of interest in end user experience with their product I'm going to switch my account over to their competitor. AOL may be considered the ugly ducking of Internet portals but let's face it Google's 800 pound gorilla flew the coop when their software engineers lost focus on innovation and management started concentrating on their stock price and buying others innovations instead of developing their own. i.e. Youtube & Google Earth.
So it comes as no surprise that Google can't respond to the IMAP Windows Mobile issue, they're too ill-prepared to do so. I encourage angry users to look else where for IMAP service providers, AOL may not have the prestige they enjoyed in the early 90's but their engineers have provided a rock solid IMAP experience that functional across all platforms including Windows Mobile. So the choice for me is easy.
Adiós Gmail... mail@aol.com here I come.
PS AOL does provide unlimited e-mail storage also, as a another instinctive to leave.
