Bless you Dee !  I have friends that swear by GMAIL but for the very reason you just pointed out, I stay with the tried and proven OUTLOOK.

there is a Chrome extension called AutoPen that I used to make mine complete with social media pbadges and a qr code (vcard)

just like outlook - https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings

I love Gmail! I think it’s the best email out there. I use Wise Stamp for my html images.

I cannot stress how much I love Gmail and everything Google. I use to use Yahoo! Mail and figured that all email providers were the same.  I was completely wrong.

Once you start using Google products, you will see how great it is. Google makes it an easy and unified experience.  With stuff such as Android, Google+, the greatest search engine, Calendar, Reader, and so on under its belt, its hard to not like it.  

I do not work for Google, but I can honestly say that it is the future.

If you’re a Mac user and have multiple Gmail accounts you’ll love the app http://mailplaneapp.com it doesn’t change the Gmail look or interface, but allows you extra options and the ability to stay logged in to more than one account. It does cost a little, but it’s well worth it. I run all my websites with the Google Apps and gmail for my email server. Using MailPlane I can have all my emails inside one app.

Another Gmail tip …

Anyone get annoyed the signature file is always added to the very end, past all the replies etc. Instead of directly under your current message?

There’s a way to fix that … if you go into the settings (look for the gear), then to the “labs” link (3rd from the right) then in the search box once your in labs, start typing “signature” and you will see a “signature tweaks” option … just click on the enabled radio button to fix.

Enjoy … Scott
