Default We should have a poll for this...


Gmail by far!!!!

Just yesterday, I had to tutor my uncle on how to migrate from hotmail to gmail and I was just amazed at how "primitive" the hotmail experience is.

Granted, it created the free email space, but hotmail is "trapware". It tries its best to keep you locked in. No POP forwarding... no Reply As... no easy way to export contacts... nada.

For us tech-savvy folks, this is easy, but try explaining all these things that you need to do to move to gmail to your 65 year old uncle...

It even treated my gmail invitation to my uncle as SPAM!!!! It smells illegal to me that they can do that. Calling Judge Kollar-Kotelly!!!!

I had to send the gmail invite by sending it from my gmail account as myself rather than the gmail mailbot.
