All, I don't mind so much either way. I firmly believe Gmail is the way to go- it automatically files responses all together, truncating my inbox list, and has enough space that I don't care if I have unread messages (10,860 unread messages and counting). This option, of course, would drive type A personalities insane, so personality depending: Gmail may be the perfect answer.
... To fulfill my word requirements, please feel free to put on a pot for tea, grab a favorite afghan, kick back and enjoy and excerpt from my new short story about a young woman struggling with the growing pains of love on her passage to adulthood: "...At first, Laurie couldn’t decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question..."
