Google introduces auto save for email composing
Well this is not a path-breaking feature for an email client. However, this is really good for a web mail service. Google has introduced an auto-save feature for the compose window. And it automatically saves mails being composed after a period of time to drafts. Neither Yahoo! Mail nor Hotmail seems to have this at the moment and we expect them to introduce something similar soon.
There is no setting to be enabled for this as it works out of the box. You compose a mail and Google Gmail takes care of the rest as drafts are made automatically. We at TechWhack could not find any setting to disable/configure this facility so you have to live with it if you do not like it.
Google has been steadily improving the Gmail service. It now supports practically all the browsers available on the web. Third party services even allow WAP users to connect to it. It has free mail forwarding and POP/SMTP facility. The storage space for email is growing even at this very moment. Yahoo! is working on releasing its next generation mail interface in the coming months. It would be interesting to see how it competes with the Google Gmail.

>”It now supports practically all the browsers available on the web.”
Most browsers are supported but many are just for the basic HTML version. Which is fairly feature less.

More links
More links: Last week I read lots of good articles, and I kept them open on my desktop in hopes of having my own brilliant flash of insight on each. No dice. ;-) Still, I want to vote for some…

Autosave is not good. It sends the email when it saves it so you end up looking stupid with half composed emails sent out

I wrote a very long email yesterday and counted on the autosave function to save. I didn’t know where it would be saved TO, but I figured I could find out if I needed to.
Well, guess what. I cannot find my dup email anywhere, nor will Google acknowledge my question on any FAQ-type list.
So, auto-saved to ???????
