[AccessD] I couldn't post

Hi John

We have some accounts for various purposes on Gmail. Every time I go to that web interface I'm surprised how horrible it is and wonder how people can live with it, some even pay for it. It makes no sense regarding the vast resources of Google.

But it sounds as you haven't met Outlook 365. It is one or two generations ahead of Gmail. Some of my colleagues even prefer this for the normal Outlook 2013 desktop client.

A year ago we switched the e-mail from our trusted but outdated Novell GroupWise 6.5. I was about setting up a local Exchange server but decided to give the "cloud Exchange" a chance - and haven't looked back.

Now our mail and calendars are synced "all over" - to my Surface, our phones (Windows Phones and Android) and if out somewhere a browser will do.

If you use the Outlook desktop client, you can work off-line as well, reading and writing mails.

Yea yea.  I hate web applications as they tend to be web clunky.  
Gmail's web app sucks so bad it is almost unusable.  Not to mention, no web no mail.

Glad you like it though.
