I just use my Yahoo Mail. Gmail needs to catch up.
I use hotmail most of the time, and regarding my website, I use Squirrelmail.
Hotmail.
I use Incredimail. My hotmail mail comes through it, so I never have to visit the hotmail homepage. My westnet mail comes through it as well.
I use Yahoo!, and have used Hotmail and Gmail for other people on various occasions, as well as Outlook and Lotus Notes for other people and myself when at work. Outlook is far, far more user-friendly while Lotus Notes is pretty much only useful for security and it's databases.
Yahoo! is far, far better than Hotmail and Gmail. Shlup was right in that Gmail needs to catch up. I've tried to help people using Gmail but found that the features I thought they'd have, they didn't. I think folders was one of them, too. I mean, come on. Folders. That's as basic as it comes. Hotmail is just too overdone. Cluttered. And way too many ads etc. I subscribe to Y!Mail to get rid of ads and for other various reasons, but even before I did that, it was far better than Hotmail's overdone style. When I use Yahoo!, I feel like I'm using an email site. When I use Hotmail, I feel like I'm using a site that offers email accounts.
I also have an EoFF account, but it diverts directly to my Y!Mail because I'm awesome.
I use my university's webmail for important and personal e-mails. My hotmail account is my 'sacrificial lamb' account, which I will give to parties likely to make me vulnerable to spam.
Hotmail for me plz. Goes hand in hand with MSN, which is what everyone in Norway uses.
I just use yahoo.
Gmail. I find it simple to operate and not overwhelming like Yahoo and Hotmail. And you have to remember that Gmail is still a rather young email service, so it doesnt have as much, which is why it is still exclusive.
i use yahoo and osu.edu
You do realise that Gmail's layout is basically a ripoff of Yahoo!, right? How can Gmail not be overwhelming, but Yahoo be overwhelming?Quote:

Not if you ask. 100 permanent invites is a bit much.
how is gmail a ripoff of yahoo?
I don't use any mail program. That because I don't have all of that mail anyway and I won't risk saving viruses to my computer. I have a mail account on Hotmail (but it stinks. Hotmail is the citadel of spam mail ) and one on Yahoo. Yahoo is much better, I have to say. It is simple to use, has a great capacity and you can send big attachments.
I use Netscape mail at work, and it's nice. For personal email I just use gmail and sometimes hotmail (which sucks but its tradition).
