Gmail: You are slow

    Many times in the past two weeks (and still is) Gmail was slow loading with a message that my internet connection was slow and I should switch to the basic html page.

    The truth: I guess Gmail is actually slow loading - not my internet connection. The proof: I could post here and visit other websites including its main competitors.

    I did not notice any speed problems by using my own mail reader (claws) and collecting my mail by pop and imap.

    Then use the simple HTML version of Gmail instead.

    When I log in my gmail account I can see the loading bar but it's 100% completed.

    Try changing your DNS server.

    Google: You Rock!

    It don't take enough time... it takes little more time while starting....after dat emails open super fast!
    The new version of Yahoo Mail is worse than GMail.

    I used to use G-mail for it's ability to access from any computer with an internet access. However now I just use outlook, much faster.

    I think the issue here is not whether we should switch the basic view. Gmail is really really slow and sometimes it can take up to more than a minute for loading on my 120kbps connection speed. If this prevails, I have to consider looking for alternatives.

    If you have an Adsense account, you have no alternative.
