whats gmail's advantage supposed to be?

what do you mean?

if you mean "why should people use it?" the answer is because it is pretty much the easiest and most well developed web-based email out there. i dont understand why people use hotmail or yahoo (hotmail especially).

If you have to ask you don't have one.

Yahoo (until May) offers 2GB, POP Access and Mail forwarding for $19.99 a year
Hotmail well its just crappy
Gmail nows has a 2.05 GB inbox (and the number keeps going up) POP Access and Mail Forwarding all for free....

You tell me what the advantage is

why though? yahoo is crap. i registered an account just to compare and gmail is at least 5x nicer looking and easier to use. its so much better on every level, and the free storage is 10x what you have.

I am using 19% of the Free storage I have already.

Why switch to More free storage,that I don't need.


Before when the free Yahoo mailbox was smaller, I had to clean out dead emails about once every 6 months.Now I have not deleted hardly any email since they upgraded.

Do you move every 6 months,because you found a place that was just painted?;)

It's going up a lot slower than it was last night. Last night I sat there and watched it go up 2 mb in a few minutes.

Even my grandma can use gmail. No more technical support for inferior mail systems!

yahoo = no pop access = no go.

I check my yahoo account on average once in a week or two. I check all my other email boxes a few times a day.

I use Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail.
I use Yahoo if I expect to get spam in return for what ever I had to give them an email address for.
I use Hotmail if I buy something online and I need to see their emails to me.
I use Gmail for friends/family.
