    Just curious as to what email service everyone prefers.

    I've been using my gmail account ever since gmail was in beta. I like its layout, very easy to find what I need.

    I use Yahoo and Gmail. With my Hotmail, I used to have 10,000 emails. Yes I'm that popular.

    I use vodafones email service, they give you an email address when you register your phone number. I only use vodafone email because every time I get an email I get an alert on my phone with the message and sender, pretty handy when im out and about.

    ya my hotmail account is pretty popular with the spammers too last check i was sitting at like 12000 new emails. at this point for simplicity i use my grizmail account the university i go to has a policy of professors only taking emails from your student account. i do believe it is a gmail based system though

    6301 legit emails in my gmail account dating back to 09/09/2004. :p

    Used hotmail before that, but their spam filter is horrible and interface is bad. (not as bad as it used to be though)
    Yahoo I wouldn't touch with a fire poker, they delay emails constantly, so you never know when you might get your time-critical emails. I see this constantly with RomUlation email. (also, do a search for "yahoo deferred" and you'll see everyone else with the same problem)

    What? Are you sure? I registered mine somewhat 3 years ago (just for the extra topup), never heard about getting any email. But in that case (with the phone text alert), don't let it get spam. Now that would be annoying.

    I get about 10 spams containing porn, and the rest just your average. I need to stop handing out my email :p

    Gmail for the serious stuff and Hotmail just for the messenger and the mails my friends send me.

    Natewlie A bag of tricks

    Two accounts my gmail and hotmail.

    Gmail is full of spam and is the one I use publicly.

    Hotmail is my secret one with no spam and all personal mails. Had it since 6 years ago? Maybe even longer.

    7 years I think, I still have e-mails from when me and my hubby first met.

    Yahoo, general email, from spam and quotes, to family and stuffs. Hotmail, my special email for international meassages and some spam. Gmail is for my work email, well, cause its like the newest email i made and easy to remember.

    Also, if you have google talk, gmail account, it is better for pc-pc talks, its a shame it does not support a webcam option so i got to stick to yahoo.

    gmail - works nice.
    hotmail - because it came with msn, and is now for spam.

    Gmail and Yahoo. I use Gmail 99% of the time, though. I also have a school POP3 account for backups.
