Gmail, unless I want to send a zip file. Gmail wont allow zip files for some reason, but hotmail will :confused:

yahoo. stable, size is reasonable, server is never down for me, and it's not beta like gmail. spam blocking is also excellent, as long as you don't go sign up for everything.

Hmm, must have changed. I just sent a test zip file and it worked, but I could have sworn in the past you could not send zip files.

This thread lacks about 99.9% pollage.

Gmail is all I use now. I haven't checked my Hotmail in at least two months probably.

Either/Or. I use both and they each have their uses. In my case, the Hotmail account has been with me since 1994 so it's nice to have one constant E-mail address.

I think you're right. Something about how they could contain viruses so they didn't allow sending of them. I remember trying once too and it didnt work.
