Comment on Gmail: Get Mail From Other Accounts by Ty Maynarich

Handling various personal and work email accounts is frustrating. This Gmail feature is amazing, but it doesn’t respond as fast as I would like. Gmail should be requesting email from each account at a maximum of every 5 minutes. Most of my email clients typically force a 1 minute status update. Google currently waits up to 1 hour before requesting new emails from my linked accounts. Unacceptable, email should be instant. Is there any way to increase the frequency Google requests emails?

I completely agree. Silence is a cop out. It’s rude, and quite frankly, I think it’s cowardly.

So many of us are scared to be honest with those around us for fear of upsetting or disappointing them, We’re scared of the conflict the no might bring. But like it or not, it’s a part of life. We do need to teach our children that they need to say no when no is necessary. Not only as a courtesy to others, but as a way of standing up for ourselves, what we want and who we are.

@Anita @Wardell - I agree, whoever makes the initial offer has the responsibility to set the tone, but of course it’s not a one way conversation.

@Todd - Oh how it is so true! I find myself doing that WAY too often. (*sigh)

It’s odd how some people are too polite to be polite enough to say, “No thank you.” They’ve taken the rule, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” too far by not realizing the nicer thing to do is say “No.”

I totally agree, I think Anita has a good idea as well but you may not always want to give people a strict deadline when first making an offer or proposal.

Best policy: take charge. Say to people: ‘If I don’t hear from you by … I will assume the answer is no / you’re not interested.’
