I use Google Beta - it is dramatically faster, hundreds of times
faster, which is a great thing. One minor problem, maybe due to
traffic, is that on occasion, the new Google server indicates back to
the sender that an error has occurred, the message is undelivered - and
it gets delivered anyway. The downside is that the message gets posted
more than once *if you try again.* No big deal, except the poster
looks (and feels) like a dufus. Mea culpa, as it happens.
I can live with it.
