Hey,

like the topic says, which provider do you use and why?
I'm using googlemail for about three years now. Best antispam, basicly infinite space, tidy and clean without annoying advertisements.

Just one thing worries me: what do they do with your data?

I prefer Gmail, mostly because I use a lot of other Google things, and also because Gmail is really easy to use. I like that conversations stay in one thread.

I was using hotmail then switched to gmail.

To be honest google already knows too much about us. A bit doesn't hurt.

I use Gmail, switched from yahoo. There isn't really a folder system, though (labels or something), which made me sort of annoyed/sad

Only used hotmail before, but currently gmail and it clearly has the better spam filter.

I still have an old hotmail account that I use, but that is mainly because that was the first email I made, and I use it for msn, and I don't feel like going trough the trouble of adding everyone again on a new email.

But besides that, I mainly use Gmail.

I really like Gmail for the reasons already mentioned - lots of space and really easy to use.

To be honest, right now I'm using Goo Mail, simply because I only really email Japanese friends and Goo allows you to easily input the same emoticons they have on cellphones in Japan which is really convenient.

Yahoo because its the most popular in several countries and you gotta have it, gmail because its great and I like it the most, MSN because some people I know use it and have to use it.

Gmail, great customization and fairly efficient spam filters. Also use my uni email for student discount purposes.

i use gmail for everything

my msn uses my gmail
my university email fw's to my gmail and i use gmail's "send mail as" feature to reply using my uni email from gmail)
for all random registration sites i use my gmail as well using plus-addressing so i don't even need a throwaway account for that

so yeah. thanks gmail, you're awesome.

Switched from hotmail to yahoo a couple years ago. It's ok I guess.

Yahoo, just because it does what I need and I'm too lazy to change to Gmail. My school email is what I use most, though.

I use gmail. I don't care if google tracks my every move, it's just much better than yahoo mail and hotmail imho.

OP: have you considered adding a poll?

I would rather wear a tin foil hat that says "i'm a conspiracy theorist freak - ask me about how the CIA is tracking my every move" every day for the rest of my life than use Gmail.

It's not that i'm worried about my privacy, it's that giving up even the slightest right to privacy for nothing more in return than a product that's easy to use is a very slippery slope.

I don't trade rights for convenience no matter how much sense it makes - especially given the direction in which society is headed.

Example: today we consider fetal diagnostics perfectly normal (i do too). Tomorrow (in ~100 years) genetic sequencing of possible mates is quite likely to be common day practice. Now, you'd be mad to think information detailing personal data - search history, browsing history, emails etc. won't be items of extreme value in the near future. In fact - it's highly likely that we'll consider such information vital to our decision when we're electing our president for the coming four years. It will never be part of mainstream media - but tabloids will gobble it up like pictures of Emma Watsons' crotch.

All i'm saying: don't wear tin foil hats, but don't be so quick to think "no one will care about this information anyways" - all information carries a value, in StarCraft, Poker and life.

Gmail because of the clean interface, simple filter and everything else sucks in general.
