Ok I give up. If you want to be dugg up to the front page submit some bulls**t article on google or gmail.

Actually, I am a native speaker. I just happen to have done an advanced level study of the genesis of modern langauge and functionality is a word that is unnecessary and was first used by undereducated individuals who did not know the meaning of the word "function."

Live smart folders? oohhh!! they sound creepy. What do they do nip at your butts?

@cougarI believe that's only to send emails AS a different email account, not to actually receive them... I could be wrong though.

Do I HAVE to point out the irony in your misspelling of language?...And while you are correct that "functionality" is unnecessary, it is left to popular usage (sigh) as to whether or not it is a word.

Gmails filter service is no doubt very useful but personally for me its a real headache to set up. I always get new and different e-mails but I still want them categorised (e.g. travel e-mails, jokes, etc and its very difficult to do that. I know its asking for too much, but it would be nice.

Has anyone actually gotten the "email+label" format to work when they send themselves an email? I just keep getting an error...

Putting an 'OR' between about a hundred emails is crazy. It would be much simpler if we could use a contact group in the 'from' address of the filter wizard (create a filter..)And why the hell doesn't it have the email auto-suggest?
