Google Resolves Gmail Name Dispute In UK

Posted by Soulskill on from the what's-in-a-name dept.

united_notions writes "Slashdot has previously reported the legal challenges over the Gmail brand in Europe. Now, the BBC reports that UK users can finally register @gmail.com addresses — and existing @googlemail.com users can switch to @gmail.com too. Google has put up a page describing the change."

  1. Other business... by bogaboga · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    While I congratulate Google on this achievement, I wonder when they will spruce up their GMail user interface and functionality. It sucks big time in my opinion. Here are what disturb me a lot.

    1: Interface: It's beginning to show age.

    2: 100% focusing on search as currently implemented leaves out a lot. For example I searched for a term like "deadline", I could end up having 900 emails with that word. This is good but even better would be if GMail could further categorize these results for me by: -

    (a) date/date range, emails were sent/recieved
    (b) who sent them,
    (c) which labels have them,
    (d) which ones of these have attachments and further which attachment types...I could go on and
            on.

    Yahoo has this functionality so Google should.

    Am I missing something?
