In 2008, 58 percent of Harvard undergraduates used Gmail as their primary email client, up from 38 percent the year before. It’s no surprise that so many students are jumping ship to get on board the Google bandwagon. Webmail is plagued with problems, notably its poor interface...
...Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Information Technology circulated a comprehensive survey to address trends ranging from student concerns with FAS Webmail to general satisfaction with IT’s Web services. Not surprising to Client Technology Advisor Noah S. Selsby ’94, undergraduate preference for Gmail as their e-mail client has risen from 38 percent in 2007 to 58 percent in 2008.In addition to addressing Webmail concerns raised by the survey—both in terms of storage capabilities and speed—FAS IT has also been trying to address undergraduate dissatisfaction with e-mail...
