Outlook vs. Gmail
Lifehacker recently compared, in depth, the differences between using Outlook and Gmail.
Check out the site for the details but here is a quick rundown of the comparisons:
- Searching
- Folders vs Labels
- Rules vs Filters
- Contacts
- Spam Filtering
- Storage Space
- User Experience
- Workflow
- Mobility
- Support
The result of the blow by blow comparison in the reviewer’s opinion is that Gmail wins because of its feature simplicity. For straight email use, I would agree that GMail is much easier and friendly to use – not so much when looking at task, calendar, and contact management. The article does a good job of presenting strengths and weaknesses of each so it’s easy to make your own decision. The article also does a good job of introducing you to some of Gmail’s features and some of Outlook’s features you may not have known about.
