It would have to be a pretty large image file with high resolution.

The image size has nothing to do with pixels - that's the resolution

"image size" tends to refer to the physical size
"resolution" is the quality
JPEG is merely a term for a certain type of image - there are many others

640 x 480 is very low resolution indeed - about 0.3 mega pixels

A pixel is a dot.

As you increase the physical size of an image those dots move further and further apart.

So, a huge picture could have a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (VGA) but would look pretty poor although it would be quite a small file size.

Was trying to keep the message short - not too technical.

You are have IT skills - Uploads & downloads, JPEG image sizes, kilobytes (kB) and megabytes (MB) - ( 640 x 480 pixels JPEG).

Some email boxes/providers restrict the size and won't accept or transmit a large file.

Gmail seems to take most

"the photo pixels are not an issue"

Huh?
What does that mean?

I'm also a big fan of Gmail - also had one of the original accounts after faffing about with so many others.

I like the fact attachments are easy to send - the photo pixels are not an issue.
Each persons box would be hard to fill up but the best thing is no span.
The occasional one slips though and the occasional mail go in the spam box. :-D

AnninGlos - I am a big fan of it - had an account since it was first launched (when they were like hens' teeth and you could only get one by invite) which meant I had a choice of loads of different account names before they were all swallowed up and you had to create ridiculous names with loads of numbers and obscure conbinations of letters that looked vaguely like your name lol

Renes - loved that article - so very true!

I actually think gmail is very good.

Not a problem wisechild, as said quite simple to ditch the "improvements" if you click on the extra tabs and select disable everything goes to the one inbox.

Also some folders like trash are hidden in the list at the bottom on the LH side, if you want them displayed just drag them up into the top list

Heartily sick of Outlook/Hotmail & was thinking of changing to G mail.
A re think seems to be called for.

Thought this article quite amusing

Love the word " kvetching " Never heard of it before .....

I have reverted mine to the original now.

Mine changed over yesterday. Bit confusing at first but considering the number of emails I receive everyday it has sort of split the mass into 3 separate lists - Primary, Social & Promotions. Saves me a lot of time. Don't know how they decided which sort of mail goes into which stream but it is like having 3 email boxes within one email.

Least all the Facebook, Twitter and school blog messages have been correctly filtered to the Social stream.
All the Argos, Amazon, Co-op and other sales promotions are now going into the Promotions stream.

That in itself is a big improvement.

Not tried to change much as most of my mails are already filtered but found if you tick a mail and hold the mouse down you can move a mail to one of the other mails streams.

Not tried any other tips yet - watching to see what others come up with :-D :-D

Was handy thought Huia, I had lost your blog and when Glossie Ann e-mailed me I was able to through her odds and ends of scrap booking etc I was able to find your blog again.

Oh no! Not Gmail as well? I have been complaining about the changes to Hotmail for over a month now. Why cant these sites leave well alone? :-|

Always - just ask
Sadly I cannot give advice on the heat and how it may be fought and put down

Thank you,eRRol,

I'm sure there will be b""ing in my future.

Hope I can count on you for instructions.

MaureeninNY - keep your glasses up and the heat down.
If you want to keep the new format you can set filters to bung the important stuff into the correct folder

Thank goodness for this thread!

Rose-your tip worked perfectly.

I may read more about the new format when the heat lets up and my glasses aren't constantly sliding down to my ankles.

I quite like gmail but this is not the first time they have done a Wesley and moved things around.

At one time I would not receive some joke e-mails with pictures in full so joined the long list of complainers.

I found they did not answer questions very readily.. just had to wait until it eventually sorted itself out,

I hope it does not muck up my own set up categories.

Ann interesting to note this message has just come through

Dear Rambling Rose ,

The following threads that you are watching have been added to in the last hour. Click on each one to view the latest posts.

Writers Group thread 2013 (new reply 15/07/2013 21:58:54) "

So just about 9 hours to say there has been a post on a watched thread.....

I wonder what makes them meddle??

It does come up with '1 new meesage' over the particular category which is a help. But I will probably revert to the old one. :-)
