3 edits | G mail With G Mail why would anyone want to use anything else. My storage space is currently 6.3gig's. The account is free paid for by closely targeted ad's some of which I have accually purchased stuff from. Yes I have my MSN account, and My Yahoomail spam, and junk mail account. But I mostly use Gmail. Yes I do have outlook at work but that's all.

| Well, GMail has it's own quirks that aren't always great: you can't delete from the server using a POP client, you can't retrieve from more than one POP client, and you can't create folders (the labels kinda suck). If you're strictly a web-based user you're in great shape. If you like your outlook or thunderbird to keep remote copies of your mail (for cases just like this one), it's a bit difficult to tangle with. |

1 edit | Well yes there is that. I can't use conventional email for what I do at work, only encrypted outlook. I am a medical records administrator so everything I deal with is very, very private, Most of the time even with encrypted e-mail I don't trust it so much of what I do I hand deliver with in the Hospital. Other then this all of my other e mail use is just letter writing to friends across the planet.

Actually, since they implemented IMAP you can access from multiple computers and leave mail on their server. Outlook works very nicely with IMAP and gives an "almost Exchange" feel to the mail account.

All my gmail is also stored locally on 2 different computers and kept in sync with gmail servers using the Windows Vista Mail program.
