maybe i've not spotted it yet, but i still can't find a 'delete' button in gmail!?
you have to use the Actions dropdown and then hit 'delete'... wouldn't a delete icon somewhere be faster? -
Well Google thinks with this amount of space there's no need to delete a message.
Can't remember where but I read this soon after all this invitation stuff came up and people asked questions about the new system.
I was one of the first to give away invites.. Time has passed, I have given away ~400 invitations and Google Mail is still not public so.. If anyone wants an invite just drop me your email. -
I don't know...
-
From Gmail.com:
Over *** megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.
;) -
fair point dude :-P
BUT at least 20% of the emails I get only need reading once at most. It just bugs me that I can't just dump em straight after that! -
Yes, I know what you're saying, 3stripe. I am one of those people who like to keep things neat and tidy, and for that reason I don't like unnecessary e-mails clogging up my inbox even if I have 2.5 GB of space! :P
-
If you use the greasemonkey firefox extension then you can have that delete button.
Or use this extension. -
Sweet... i was just wondering about greasemonkey extensions!
-
Googles version of deleting is called archiving. The message disappears from your inbox, but is still around to be searched or filtered.
I kinda like it that way.
Your one-click button would then be your 'y'-key. One tap and the message is archived. -
I wonder who has the patent on "one click delete"? Like "one click buy" which is I believe owned by ebay?
-
Amazon owns One-Click Shopping.
They also own the slightly less controversial Buy Now, And We'll Never Send It To You, Ever technology. -
You can always make a new label, call it DELETED, and label all your emails that you would normally delete with that.
You get used to no delete, and it is kind of nice. Say you delete a normal email, you only need to read once, but say after three weeks you need it again, just goto the archive/label and bam its there.
The only real reason to delete an email is to save space or if its spam. Dont need to save space with gmail, and spam you can delete.
You get used to it after a while. I use the pop forwarding feature. So I use thunderbird, and I can delete mail. So the gmail site is more of a email backup for me. -
Looks like they heard it through the grapevine that 3stripio needed one click delete :-D
What's new on Gmail?
Just launched!
Delete button right on top
Now I've got 2, heheheh -

Well, for one, I don't like 1-click anythings as I click on a button by mistake sometimes.. -
weird, it just showed up here.
-
giginger: jesus.. what do you get in your mail?

I have to guess, people. -
Google's engineers are reading on Lussumo... Kinda sad it takes them more than a month when Mark can add something like that by the end of the day. :-)
-
I have friends who do a LOT of forwards and quite a few of them are mpgs and those pps slideshows.
I also get a lot of mp3s of my mates music if they want an opinion.
I still don't have the delete button though. -
Heh, wallphone, lussumo caters to about as many people as google faces in one second. perhaps even a fraction of that. it's like human vs dust mite.
-
Bit of topic, but how would I go about getting a gmail account? I have never been bothered with it, but it does look quite good and handy as an additional account. Looks like you can't signup yet on the site, and I don't think you can get invites anymore, can you?
-
Official reason: as written by MrNase
But you can also consider (I do) that Google has a problem with privacy and want to be able to search through everything for an indefinite time, whether you're OK with that or not. That is their multibillionar business model, remember?
Who said about Google: "Hey relax, be confident, trust them, they're not doing evil you know"? Google themselves so it's a bit biased ;-)
Perhaps that's true, perhaps not. But I don't listen to biased words to have my own opinion in general. -
I can send you an invite if you like?
whisper me your e-mail address and I'll send it. -

While i partially agree, felipe, even if they offer a delete button it doesnt have to delete the email... It could just remove it from any of your views and stop using it against your quota but keep it on their system all the same if they wanted. -
True, but there is an "EULA" from Google that the user accepts and I imagine somebody could detect that old and deleted content is still used by Google to servve ads or something like that.
Well, I agree you couldn't detect someone else (like NSA) has kept your deleted content while not using it (for now). But the contrary (the NSA not catching and not keeping it) would appear really strange to me: that's exactly their not so secret job and they have thousand people very talented to do it so ... :-D
