  1. Yes I agree Google sucks lol. Wonder why this happens ? I use Yahoo for several years and never a problem. Yahoo mail is simply great ;-)

  7. Wow! I can’t believe that it’s just vanish just like that. How is it now? I love Gmail contacts above all thanks to their autocomplete for email addresses when you wish to send mail. Keep us updated on this serious bug.
