I start to create an email and if I don't know the email address that I am sending to, all I have to do is click one letter and I get several options. I just click on the option I want. My wife is using a different type of email and when she types a single letter or more, she does not get options unless they were very recently used, she has to get out a paper list to put the address in. It is frustrating to me. That is why I went to gmail. Now it seems that I have to use Chrome as my home page. Is there another email service that does what I need?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-91192508176189183642011-05-26T06:14:59.687-07:002011-05-26T06:14:59.687-07:00@EverAndAnon

Would have been nicer to see some Chrome-only features which work on all websites (like C:/fakepath/file.ext instead of the full path, not sure if that's also a feature in FF4 or IE9, but I mean such things which work everywhere).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-29032021421874571232011-05-20T07:13:41.486-07:002011-05-20T07:13:41.486-07:00@Peter Ward
