The 'paper" problem (beyond when it's used unnecessarily) is the same as Windows. Multiple "copies" really means multiple distinct items that happen to have the same name. A change to one means the others are out of date or must be remembered, found, and replaced. And the item, unless commented internally, does not remind you. Also, deleting one does not delete all. > (2) allow "labeled emails" to appear, or not appear, in your In Box. Gmail allows this. > My other gripe with gmail is around scalability/performance.

I haven't had any issues like this. ph ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
