My blackberry refuses to accept it's validity and everytine you send a mail you have to enter a captcha txt which I have to do 8million times a day so I don't want to use it. Plus it has more hacks than Loafofbrett

Can't you add Live to you Blackberry as an Exchange account so you don't have to use the mobile site? Live is about the best I think, can't understand why people love GMail so much. Doesn't seem anything special to me?

Best interface, flawless service. Support in forms of apps etc.

I'm setting up an exchange account from work but it recently has encountered issues with Gmail addresses. Plus if our server dies I need an external mail

Yesterday mate.

I've got outlook for work, I don't want anything even remotely similar for personal email, being able to see a list of emails and read them is absolutely perfect.

A comparable hotmail page takes much longer to load.

Hotmail spam filter is also just about non existent compared to gmail, it's very very rare I get a spam email into my gmail inbox.

I use GMail on Google Apps for a couple of my domain names, not really a fan of it but it's not like it's crap or anything. It's free which makes it rather attractive though.

Its not quite there for enterprise use yet. I've had major problems migrating from exchange and still trying to use outlook or anything but android/ios phones.

For personal email its great, nothing ever needs deleted and search is as good as you would expect from Google.

Hotmail and I think Yahoo do email aliases, so you could give say one alias for important stuff, another for newsletter shite, etc.

That way you can tell how you are getting spammed?
