Yes, that is sweet. Not being concerned about the size of the mesaage store is another win. I found out the hard way a few years ago that Outlook behaves
very strangely when the mailbox.pst file that holds your mail store hits 2GB, and recovering was Not Fun.
In GMail, I'm up to 7GB allocated, with about 30% used, and no problems.
I know people unhappy at the idea of their mail on Someone Else's Server, but it doesn't bother me. As a general rule, I don't say stuff in email I'd be all that upset about having public, since I've never seen email as secure.

also sometimes i accidently hit "post" or "send" before i'm ready, which is annoying, and i have also managed to close tabs or windows completely (god knows how, because the chances of hitting alt+F4 by accident seem frankly slim to none).

Hitting Send too early isn't a big problem in forums like this, where I can always Edit my post. It can be annoying in email.

my gmail session is restored too though ; i'm always logged in at home. seems weird that it should shut you out of that, unless you programmed it not to remember you.

I don't lose anything. I just have to log back in again. It may be a matter of forcing an SSL connection to GMail. They are trumpeting the fact that you can now force a secure connection in GMail within GMail's setting, but I've been doing it for a long time with a Greasemonkey script.
