I have 2 gmail accounts and a comcast account. My primary is one of the GMail accounts, and I have it set up to pull my comcast/2nd gmail account into my primary gmail account so all of my mail is in one place.

Argh. My parents and my 78-year old uncle still use AOL 🙁

At least I was able to get my uncle to use the Mail app when he switched from Windows to Mac earlier this year (not that I gave him a choice). Amazingly enough, he actually owns his own domain (well, I got it for him), but he does not understand the concept of having anything but an AOL e-mail address (On occasion, he still gives out his e-mail address with a "www" slipped in there somewhere - I never understood why people do that.).

I still have an AOL sub-account on my parents' account, but it rejects all mail. It is another "just in case" account I have access to.

Gmail, I forward university email to it also. We only get 150mb of storage for our university email, forward it to gmail, now I get 7.3gb of storage. 🙂 And it's surprising the amount of colleagues that haven't figured out they can forward their mail and not have to deal with deleting crap from your univ email every week.

I wish it was easy for my school. We have the option to use exchange or squirrel mail. The thing is if we set up forwarding from either one to gmail, some e-mails end up not going through. I've been battling the school for 2 years now with why this happens. I've given up.
 
I had a lot of online stores through my Hotmail, but lately I've been switching them over to Gmail. Back when Yahoo accounts were like 1 meg or a half a meg, I had three of them. One for Navy friends and misc friends. One for family. One for shady shit where I didnt want folks to know my main email. Now that they're hundreds of megs and have better spam filters its kind of a waste to use 3. School uses Gmail.

I like Gmail the most. Its easy to use and you can set it up for free in Outlook. Hotmail and Yahoo make you pay for the account before you can get access off the web page.
Also Gmail was the first to add on cool shit like web albums and stuff, all for free. I'm not exactly an online fiend and I'm not a modern hi-tech teenager, but I admit that all the neat stuff Gmail offers in one place is pretty convenient. And I understand you can access all of it easily on a Google phone.

Yeah!

I don't know if I consider this Gmail or not. I constantly amaze my friends when I can chat with them through Gchat while using my own domain.

Do you send using those addresses as well? Because sending e-mail with alternate addresses makes the headers all crazy (you can see it in Outlook: "name@gmail.com on behalf of name@work.com"). That's one of the biggest issues I have with Gmail.

Yeah dude, my university uses that squirrel mail crap and I don't know how people can deal with that. Very rarely do emails not get sent, and the ones that don't get sent are usually about campus security/police.

Oh yeah, thanks for the heads up nanobreath, I'll try my best to remember 2-3 years from now to disable email forwarding when I graduate 🙂.
