# I have a gmail email address but I just make it auto-archive and run it from a desktop email client so I never have to go into gmail unless I'm in college.
It makes things so much easier.
I make my college email forward to my home one, too, so I don't need to check my college email seperately.

# i keep all my emails separate
work email stays on work computers and personal stays on gmail. makes life a bit nicer because i don't have to see work emails while i'm away from work unless i really want to. plus gmail isn't tied to a particular computer, which is a benefit. at the minute for example i'm running a bunch of codes on a macbook pro and using the internet on the desktop. last night it was easier to run the codes from the desktop logged into the uni machines and use the internet from the macbook. at 7 this morning when i turned on the snoozefest that was the japanese gp, it was easiest to use the macbook for both cos i was still in bed.

difficult to mess around like that using a desktop email thing...

# Thunderbird is a decent client. It's pretty simple to set-up should you ever wish to dabble.
