Sometimes i just want to start writing a quick message , and dont want to open up gmail and click compose. Is there a way to just open up a compose window straight from desktop.

Have you tried outlook with Gmail? It's terrible. Outlook crashes at the sight of any normal persons inbox.

What?

I use Outlook with Gmail all the time and it works perfectly.

Hell I have been using Outlook for years, have mail dating back to 1999 in it, and it's never crashed.

Yes. And it works fine. Maybe you are not normal.

you must be on dial-up, theres no way opening a gmail window and then clicking compose is this big of a deal.
