yahoo mail is actually very good. I've only used that and hotmail (the only free ones I've used, actually), and I find yahoo to be much better.

well, it makes sense that gmail has some bugs. it IS after all still in beta, so some bugs can be expected. i expect it willl be way better than any other email when they are finally done developing it.

Yap, hotmail is easier to use with msn, but gmail is far more superior (besides the fact that i can't access it at school :/) to hotmail.

Well I only use gmail occasionaly. I have Gmail mail checker installed so I never have to check it manually, I have noticed you can't seem to send big attachments on it though. What is the limit? This kinda puts me off since this is really the only reason I got a Gmail account, just for sending big attachments.

Well I mainly use hotmail, although I rarely send emails these days.

It wouldnt suprise me if Gmail does something soon to make it 10x better than Hotmail, I really like it, but like i said, the only thing it needs is to be able to tell me in messanger when I get a new email, but thats never going to happen

Google's Gmail Notifier does the same. And it isn't Gmail that needs to be able to link in with MSN, it's MSN that needs to be able to acknowledge that non-hotmail accounts exist.

Uhh, yes it is, do you really think that the worlds biggest company is going to help a much smaller company to add something that is going to draw away users of one of its most popular programs??? No, so there is no hope, and thats what I said.
