Personal Gmail vs. Los Rios Gmail: Appearances Differ

Though how Los Rios Gmail works is basically the same as a personal Gmail account, the appearance of the Mail page differs in a few ways:

  1. A personal Gmail page has the Google logo in the upper-left corner, and a Los Rios Gmail page has the logos of the Los Rios colleges in the same location.
  2. A personal Gmail account includes a profile photo but Los Rios Gmail accounts do not.
  3. The links to Google tools at the top of the browser window are not the same, as the Los Rios Google Apps domain does not include access to most of the tools included in a personal Google account.
  4. Though Los Rios Google Apps includes the Google Calendar tool, Gmail labs are not allowed (this means the Google Calendar gadget cannot be included on the Gmail page.
