I use it. I don't see what makes it SO much better than everything else, but I do think it is convenient.

It's e-mail. How good or bad can it be? This conversation doesn't interest me. I'm going to go have my picture taken now and tell people about my adventures.

I use it. I think it is quite good, it is just better in quite a few small ways over say hotmail or the AOL email service. I haven't tried any others. If you don't like it don't use it but I think it does the job quite nicely, well better then anything else I have used.

I'm a Hotmail man myself. Haven't used G mail, so i can't comment on the pro's and con's of the system.
I use MSN.com as my home page, and MSN messenger to talk to the folks back home, so it just seemed logical to use Hotmail. I do have a yahoo account i set up to try the chess site on yahoo, but i haven't used it, so it might be defunct now.

I stick with downloading my e-mail to Mail Clients so it really doesn't matter how fancy the E-Mail provider is.

I like the megamailbox but miss being able to plop mail into folders.

I don't get any e-mails because nobody likes me, so I couldn't possibly comment. Pease tell could someone tell me what it's like to have a full inbox? 😕

You don't need friends to get lots of e-mail. Just post your e-mail address at as many places as possible. If you use Firefox and the Site Advisor extension, look especially for red sites. You should soon get flooded with e-mail, and you'll also learn where to go if you need a penis enlargement or a Rolex.

Thank you very big for advice. I may soon have lots of pseudo friends to talk to. 😵

Well with Gmail a full inbox is 2.5gb so I can say I have never had that many emails.

I don't really send emails to humans much I just use my Gmail account for things like eBay, paypal, redhotpawn and any other websites.

I use msn a lot for talking to friends and arranging things.

If anyone wants a gmail invite (the way you make an account) send me a message with an email adress to send one to.

I use Hotmail for the crap emails to go to and Gmail as my storage for my good emails. I talk to people using MSN messenger so no need to talk on emails much, just official people and when I'm setting up a project which needs human assistance.

I use gmail for business and hotmail for anything else ...

I find the gmail spam filter very effective (having my gmail e-mail on all my eBay auctions I get about 100-200 spam mails every day which are almost exclusively dealt with by gmail). I also like the fact that I can simply search for items, names or words (very nice indeed) ...

Hotmail is okay but if I had to chose I'd go with gmail any day
