The new Gmail is really making me mad YellSealedYell

Its slow,buggy (sometimes it justs reports page error) and just doesnt work with IE 7 !!!!!

With Firefox, opens, loads and sometimes when I click on Compose or Reply, it just says Loading and does nothing until I refresh again. Same thing with IE 7 but bit worse and I have to do a full refresh (Ctrl+F5) each time the inbox comes up, else it doesnt come up.

But If I use Windows Live Mail client and acces my Gmail account, phew...what a relief....Smile

That's strange because I have experienced none of the above.  Gmail is working great for me on IE7 and Firefox.

There is an 'Older Version' link... if you don't like it.

Also, for me, IMAP works fine, but Thunderbird seems confused about the folders. Anyone had that?

Works fine for me everywhere. IMAP is a little screwy, but works, and is on all my Gmail accounts.
