But what if someone guess/hack your password and change it and also the security question. You will be in a great trouble. What I want to say is Google should also verify old security question's answer at the time of changing security question for better identify the person who actually own the account. Isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-52867289180397467542009-05-06T00:57:00.000-07:002009-05-06T00:57:00.000-07:00I agree with Jamie.

A major impediment to moving away from Exchange. Star reminders aren't really functional for a business-class email solution - I don't want to have to read every day what it is that I need to remember to include in staff scheduling 2 weeks (or 3 months or whatever)from now. I want to be reminded when the time comes and even then be able to defer it for 10 minutes, an hour, whatever, and be reminded again, as in Exchange. Powerful tool that it seems is either used extensively by individual users or not at all. I use flags extensively....sending an email to me from the calendar is a poor substitute. It's not interactive enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-51676233340520166872009-02-25T01:03:00.000-08:002009-02-25T01:03:00.000-08:00Hm, there was some double-post above.

(docs, spreadsheets, pdfs, ppts) like DesktopSearch.<BR/><BR/>- optional/adjustable spam filter aggresiveness<BR/><BR/>- search keywords that (optionally) expands plurals, tense, common synonyms, spacing, like regular Google web search.<BR/><BR/>- Improve the compose interface, to allow easy in-line embedding of externally-hosted images, like most forum systems.<BR/><BR/>- performance fix for compose interface in Firefox2.
