I dont use GMAIl anymore, because if i put something in Spam it keeps coming in Spam instead of permanently blocking it and from stoping it from coming back again. And i dont think GMAIL is ad-free. I think i have seen some ads recently.

Gmail is my favorite email server.They have lot of space to store your email.
But the problem with Gmail not everybody can have it.Someone must first give you an invitation before you can signup with the email service by google.

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.

great extension, it is among the dozens already installed into this wonderful browser, which goes along with a wonderful E-mail Gmail, (didn't mean to rhyme that)
I also have a hotmail passport, and a few other E-mail accounts(university, website, etc)

I would say that right now no e-mail service provider is as good as Gmail. With the amount of extensions and downloads that you can use with Gmail and the storage space it provides, Gmail is by far the best. Not to mention the new services that are going to come along with Gmail in the future (such as Google Calendar and all that). I also seem to like goowy a little. It's not as good but it's a change from the normal perception of e-mail, but it the people who created it might have used a bit too much flash.

Gmail is the best web-based e-mail I've used, but it's not perfect. The ads are subtle, but I hate them because I know that they're automatically generated through certain keywords in my e-mails. I feel like it spies and assumes things about me. I understand that no human ever looks through my e-mail, but I still don't like it. A friend of mine wrote me from Maui and to the left were a bunch of "adsense" type ads about where to stay in Maui and something about Maui nightlife. I hate that. As IF I care about your zillion dollar hotel package. If I go to Maui I'm cheaping out and being a bum. I'd rather put up with Yahoo's annoying Lavalife ads.

I stay with Gmail, though, because of the auto save which has saved my life a lot of times, and because the format is so user-friendly. And of course there's all that space.

my favorite is yahoo...i'm just used to it...but i think gmail is good too...

Yeah, I am curious too how your Gmail is ad-free, unless you were joking. :)

I've learned out to tune out the ads, although sometimes they can be moderately amusing.

My ranking even with all Gmail's faults is Gmail > Yahoo Mail > small ISP mail > Hotmail

Really been annoyed by Hotmail the few times I've tried it out.

I have got a couple. I would say, Hotmail, Yahoo, AIM and GMAIL.:)

well gmail is the best in every way
