Facebook Email is not at all a Gmail Killer??
couple of months before facebook launched it email service . Many Tech Gurus were calling facebook email service a Gmail Killer . Now those who have used facebook email are calling it a very ordinary email service , some are also saying it as annoying .
Before the launch of facebook email service there was a buzz about facebook email’s Gmail killer features but unfortunately facebook email does not have any such rumored killing features .Facebook email inbox has two folders . The “Messages” folder that hold all of a user’s Messages with friends or friends of friends and the ” Other ” message folder that holds Messages with those who aren’t connected .
The interesting thing with both the message folder is that it doesn’t have checkboxes to select multiple messages for deletion and spam marking , which is a very basic and mandatory feature of any emailing system . So you always have to open the message before you can delete it .
Another annoying thing about @facebook.com email is that your chat conversations too appear in the inbox in a thread with the recipient . There is no separate label or folder to save the chat history as Gmail and yahoo offers . Receiving all chat messages in the inbox is very annoying atleast for me , its also time consuming to clean your inbox of chat messages .
Another disappointing thing about facebook email is that it doesn’t have Cc , Bcc fields for message composition ,the subject field is also missing . Recipient gets the email message with the default subject ” Conversation with ‘sender fb profile name ‘ “ . I dont think anyone would like to use facebook email to communicate with people who are not on facebook .
