Gmail "older" / "newer"
I don't know how long it's been this way, but if you look in the upper right hand corner of your gmail home page you will notice "Newer Version" or "Older Version" depending on which one you are using. I find that the newer version will not allow auto e-mail name fill in as I type. I am using the latest version of Safari When I click on the older version it the auto-fill-in works.

Gmail has said that the new version of Gmail will work only with Firefox 2.0 and IE7. So Safari does not fully worked with new UI. Click on "Older Version" and autocomplete will work as before.

I noticed that with the new version when I click on download attachment, it would "refresh" the window, giving me a blank page before the download box pops up (might be, I'm the only one experiencing this) while in the old version, the download box will just pop up without touching the current window.
I have to either hit the back button or F5 to view the page again. I'm using Firefox 2. |

With the older [better] version I could send an email to multiple personal groups and gmail would automatically eliminate duplicates. Example use: Say somebody sends me a great joke that multiple people in several groups would enjoy. With the older version of gmail, I can specify the groups I want to send the joke to and gmail will handle eliminating duplicates. With the new version, I don't see how it's possible to send one email to multiple groups in one action. To me, that's a big step backwards.

Old Version
I love the old version of better, is there to auto use the old version all the time instead of the new version?
I know I can keep changing to old, but would like it auto to old? |

Ive been trying to figure out how to set it and keep it in the older version, too. Or, at least make gmail skins work in the newer version.

You can bookmark the older version page. Then select the bookmark to open Gmail.
You can set the language to NOT English US, like English UK, you'll be sent in older version. |

I have tested and can confirm that Gmail will eliminate the duplicates across multiple groups and only send the email to each address once. I hope this solves the problem. |
