I use Outlook at work and Gmail in my personal life. And while I never want my personal life to feel quite THAT organized, i definitely prefer it and it’s nice to think that maybe someday we’ll use nothing but gmail, all the time!

Nicole, you can’t do that from the contact in standard GMail but you might be able to from MailBrowser. What I do is I keep the calendar widget on the sidebar of my Gmail and immediately schedule it in the “quick add” portion and note in my contact that I did so. But no, it’s still not robust enough to do that on its own but there are likely browser extensions on Chrome that offer it…

Lani -
Do you know if this add on allows you to create follow ups/to dos or appointments directly from the contact list? Had someone looking for this feature the other day.

Marlow, even though I’ve switched, you hit on some things that drive me crazy. I miss being able to sort like I could in Outlook, but I’ve learned a few tricks that make Gmail usable:

When I just want to see unread emails, in the search bar I type “in:inbox is:unread.”
When I want to see only emails with attachments, I type “in:inbox has:attachment”
I do newsletters via Gmail (drag images into the compose box and they embed rather than attach), but it gets flagged as spam more often than when I do it through MadMimi.com.
Gmail in labs now allows an HTML signature in all emails. It’s new.

Sorting is a problem and capping at 100 is, but maybe these other tips have softened the blow?

Developing a growing disdain for Outlook. Will definitely give MailBrowser a try! Thanks for sharing!
