Because I wanted to free up a lot of hard drive space, I ditched Apple's default Mail application on OS X for Web-based
(If your computer is running really slowly, you should do this too. Mine was super bogged down and now it's running like a gazelle again.)
Mostly, the conversion to Gmail has been fine.
There is, however, one feature I'm always annoyed to discover that Gmail doesn't have.
When I go to compose an email, I want to start typing someone's name in the "To" field, and have Gmail auto-complete it for me.
Sometimes, it does. Sometimes it doesn't, because I haven't had an email conversation with that person recently.
When it doesn't, I go over into the search bar and search for that person's name.
Invariably, this brings up several emails that have the person's email in the "to" or "from" fields. I copy and paste it into the "to" field of the email I wanted to send.
My question is: Why do I, the human, have to do this search operation?
Isn't
The answer to both questions is YES.
So let's go, Google. Get on it.
