GMAIL, GTALK and Google Voice-Not All in Sync

So this morning I took some time to play around with Google Talk/Mail/Voice and sadly, its not all Central.

I'll give it the credit it deserves. It does a lot but one thing it doesn't do is SYNC between the mailbox and the voice mailbox. Well, in reality, neither does Google Voice. Here's why.

A voice mail message now sits in three places.

1. Your Google Mail box. It is sent to you as an email, with transcription.

2. Your Google Voice inbox. It resides there forever.

3. Your Google Voice call in In box. It resides there until you listen to the messages. And, you have to listen to oldest to newest.

That means, if you don't call all the time to listen and delete your messages, they are all still there and you have to wade through them. Not exactly fun, and clearly not in sync.
