Been using GMail since it was beta (ah wait....it's still beta right? laugh.gif)

Personally i'm not a big fan of other Google proggies (GTalk, Google Earth, Google Calendar etc), but I'm fine with GMail

Innovative features, big storage, simple UI...

1 noob question here.

GMail seems to have every mail in the inbox, although I have filter them into seperate special folder when the mail came. Why the inbox still have the mail? Not like yahoo mail. Tat's the part when I start to use Gmail and I dun like already.

But then, I do very love the storage. As my yahoo mail reaching it's max capacity already. Start to worry already

GMail is not using Folder concept, it's using "Tag" concept, you just tag it but not physically move it (like LYN tag)

If you don't want to see it in inbox, in your filter you have to tick this option

- Skip the Inbox (Archive it)

Too bad, I'm so sorry to hear that...hopefully none of the mails you missed is highly critical...

I've no problem in receiving emails via gmail though.

I doubt there is much mail server support that.
Even you can send, the other party might not be able to receive it.

I suggest you to either use FTP or use temporary hosting service like YouSendIt.com

YouSendIt upload is pretty much alright to me.

You can try MegaUpload though

The website FAQ is there for some reason isn't it?

Even if it's not FAQ it must be stated somewhere
