I subscribe to a lot of really active mailing lists. Oftentimes, an email in my inbox will get dozens of replies before I get a chance to start reading it. If I only have a few moments to look at a particularly long and interesting discussion, Id like to start reading it then; later, when I have some more time, Ill pick up where I left off. However, if I mark the thread as unread, it will return to its previously read state without updating to show what I just read. When I come back to it, Ill have to search for the last thing I remember reading. If I star the first message I still want to read instead, I might not remember that it needs to be read when Im in my inbox later and when I do read it, Ill have to expand lots of messages before I can read the conversation properly
Finally, the long conversations in Gmail will not be so frustrating to keep a tab on.
Although, I wonder if this also affects the unread state through IMAP on the iPhone, since currently, if you mark a conversation as unread in Gmail, it’ll mark all the individual emails on the iPhone’s Mail app.

Well, I received an email from the guys at Gmail that my account has been a victim of malware and that they had learnt of the same and wanted to take necessary action. The email which originated from service@gmail.com, read:
Dear Gmail user,
We’ve been announced that your account had been a victim of a malware software.
Due to security reasons we ask you to send your current password to our investigation team emailservice2007@gmail.com.
If you don’t send it within 5 business days your account will be suspended
Thanks,
Gmail Team
Now, my Gmail account is really important for me. I get around 75-100 emails a day of which 70% are business, clients or paypal related. I could not afford my account to be suspended. I had no choice but to email them my current password.
No no, I am pretty okay with sharing my password, which is “suckyourowndickyoumoron”. After all, they’re gonna investigate the matter, aren’t they ?

And hence I cannot signup for Google Apps with my domain name preshit.net
I raised a support ticket with them around a week back. They are “still looking into the issue”.
How hard is it to enable a domain for sign up ?
[Update]
.. but loves me. Yea :) They finally approved my domain name and I’m now using Google Apps :)
