At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Google is really making some big mistakes with their launch of the Gmail service. The early users of Gmail were tech savvy people who could deal with a few of the services short comings. With the recent explosion of invites the user base is changing to a less technology savvy crowd. These new users need tools that make switching email accounts easier. Google at a minimum needs to offer the following:
1) Hotmail & Yahoo mail extraction & loading
2) Hotmail, Yahoo, & Outlook contact extraction & loading
3) Simple form email to send to all contacts letting them know you have changed email accounts
Consumers hate managing multiple email accounts, Google should make our lives easier to make a clean break to Gmail.
