Ive done the whole browser thing, found that safari was the best. But since the new beta a few things have been going wrong.
Is there anyone on here using the latest version of Safari + Gmail and having no problems?

skip the browsers altogether and have Mail.app fetch your email for you...

^ yes.
the maine hood rat speak troof.

well, that is a pickle, ain't it?
off hand- this is the web-based verison you are using and not POP through a mail client, correct?

I have the same problems, I find some nights if I send 2-3 meg attachments it will take almost a half hour. I end up FTP'ing it most of the time lately.
I used Safari once for Gmail and I couldn't even send a text email.

I think Yahoo's new mail is the best thing out. Slaps Gmail off the table. Drag/drop... conventional folders (wtf with the stupid search and no folders in gmail). Nobody is going to remember every detail from every email to do a search.
Besides... looks a lot nicer.

I love gmail. My mediatemple email crapped the bed and now iIhave all my studio@ emails fwded to gmail. Spam has been drastically reduced.
Now, MediaTemple...there is a pig's ear of an organization for you. I told them a while back about my ridiculous spam problems and they simply replied with a link to an article about spam being on the rise.
Unbelievable.

Always hated it. The UI is beyond awful.

Enter response:I am in the market for a new host right now. My host really dropped the ball with my email at a crucial point [round the world trip].
I have been looking into other hosts and a lot of people are making complaints about their hosts abilities in the email area.
Using google was the perfect solution for me and my email.

correct. I actually have 2 gmail accounts, my main one I use for work is based on the web, and the other one I use for signing up for stuff, newsletters, ebay, amazon etc is through apple mail. but I never ever use it to send mail.
Uhh maybe I should just switch...
yes, that would make sense.

btw i use the gmail notifier for my main account so it seemed to be more efficient at the time. But yea this is a pretty obvious solution that hadn't crossed my mind.

lol apple mail is importing every single email from my main account, theres millions. And google notifier is saying there are 1288 unread messages in my second account. Too many mails.
At least this is sorted. I know - im a douche

i have issues with it. a lot of emails from people who are in my address book go straight to trash. they didn't before. very annoying. and then if i move to inbox and reply their reply still goes to trash.

I had problems with attachments over 1mb on the PC using Explorer, no problems on Mac.
