It's clean and really fast unlike Hotmail or Yahoo! The only thing that I would like to see it's that you could adjust/change the colors of Gmail instead of the standard blue! But again, I love Gmail as it is now! ;) I love Gmail as it is now! It’s clean and really fast unlike Hotmail or Yahoo!

I do not find anything wrong with GMail's interface and the standards ESP are pushing for pertains to how messages are being rendered. GMail renders a e-mails differently from Yahoo Mail. Which causes larger e-mail files, longer loading times and the unsightly rendering of text and background images on the e-mail message. For example, If I would make a new e-mail creative for use in our company's marketing campaigns, I would have to put up with non-standard deprecated code for it to work on GMail and Yahoo and the rest. Having a standard in place changes that. It simplifies the process and you'd get to concentrate more on the design and not on how to make your design work on GMail or Lotus Notes.

I use Google Apps for your domain and manage a few dozen e-mail addresses from a single interface. What I can't take is how they render HTML E-mail which is far from existing web standards being used with web browsers. It might take a year or two (I hope sooner) before someone from Google updates their e-mail client. I happen to like the functionality which Gmail offers.
