Attach files to emails (gmail) from your PDA

Today I spent a few time resizing pictures from my holidays to send them to my family using gmail, my PDA and a 9600bps mobile phone conexion. Then I wrote the email on the gmail mobile-version page.
Unfortunately, after having written the email, I found that there were no options for attaching file to teh email!
Hopefully, I also found that the Html-only version of Gmail was also correctly rendered on my PDA (PIE WM5), and perfectly usable. It’s a bit more heavy, but offers a lot more options than the mobile version: you can save drafts, attach files… Almost everythings, but no AJAX.

Fatfree Gmail

Every now and then I feel like if Gmail where been slower and slower, with continuous script timeout alerts (Firefox).

If the only thing that you want if reading your Gmail Inbox, I’ve found recently that Gmail has a mobile (read a lightweight UI) version available at: https://mail.google.com/mail/x/ (note the trailing /x/).

It fatfree: no slow Ajax scripts. Of course no all the options seem available, but it’s really fast!

By the way, the main Google search engine is also available in a lightweight version at http://www.google.com/pda.
