I don't use GMail as an email client, except when I am away from home. I use
it as an archive , search engine and spam trap. At all three of which it is
far more efficacious than my email client. The spam trap on my box then has
far less to deal with.

Of course - but that doesn't mean that we have got to like it.

Goodness, if you regard three short emails as "all this noise" you must lead a
very cloistered life. I take it you have a delete button on your keyboard?
