What's Not Available in Gmail

• Message alerts -- You'll no longer see a message "snippet" in the lower-right corner of your desktop when a new message arrives unless you download the Gmail Notifier online.

• Offline access -- Your computer must be connected to the Internet to use Google Mail Message flags (such as Important and Follow-up) -- However, you can use stars and labels to highlight messages in your inbox.

• Message sorting -- You can't click the column headings in your Inbox to sort messages.

• Drag-and-drop for attachments -- To attach a file to an email message, you must use a dialog box to choose it from your desktop unless you are using Google Chrome.

• Message recall -- If you send a message that you wish you hadn't, you can't recall it to prevent recipients from opening it. *There is a new lab feature that lets you recall a message within 30 seconds of sending, as long as the recipient has not opened the email.

• View options -- You can't change the placement of the [reading/preview] pane or move any components in the Mail window.

• Multiple email signatures -- Multiple signatures are not available in Gmail.
