Clicking on recipients line reveals CC, Bcc and From.

#193I prefer Gmail since its redesign back in April. There, I said it.
Do you have "compact mode" turned on? I mostly like it, except the contact info side bar can cut into my email pane when I dont have my browser fullscreened.
I'm on cozy mode, and with a nice background image. When I looked at Gmail before the April redesign, it always seemed hiddledy-piggledy and wrong-sized. Now it looks much nicer, and I like the 'workflows' on web and mobile. Vast advantage over hotmail and yahoo is that gmail ads are text only. The Gmail logo still looks a bit weird to me; the stretched M always looks wrong.

#194That looks great! It feels to me though that google is still playing serious catch-up to it's main competitors (yahoo & microsoft) in the email arena who both have great web-mail solutions that don't get the accolades they deserve. Now all I need is full folder support and I'm happy!
Dont you find Labels do everything you need for Folders?

#195I think they should add a maximize button to this window. Sometimes you just want to edit one email in full screen, and I don't think you should have to revert to the previous interface to do that.
There is an "expand" button that launches a popup window. You can then fullscreen that window.

#196I tried it and it is annoying. Compose window is located in the lower right corner of the screen, and cannot be moved to the middle.

Fine, but then you have two browser windows. I'm not used to that :P

scripting? I have no idea what you're referring to, but using a browser capable of rendering the web properly is a requirement these days. That's why they have mostly gone to an automatic update model, the web is fluid and changes rapidly, to keep up you need to be running a modern browser.
> That's why they have mostly gone Actually that's incorrect. The majority of browsers don't utilize a rapid release system. Really, only Firefox and Chrome do.
Firefox and chrome are "most browsers"

You've always had the option of compose in a new window, shift-click.
I just got done describing that that's not what I want, though I'm not sure I made myself very clear. Different tabs, different windows, it's all the same thing. I want Gmail open exactly once for a single goal. My other post describes my use-cases more completely.
It seems to me that you're using gmail wrong. Focus on one thing at a time, switching between random things isn't going to help and if you do need to do that use the tabs. I just can't be too sympathetic to complaining about how hard it is to switch between tabs. Learn to use the keyboard shortcuts and focus on tasks sequentially rather than randomly chopping between different tasks.

No, they are most used browsers, but they are not "most browsers" as they are 2 out of 5 "standard" major browsers (IE, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome)
