What is so great about gmail?

In addition to the first answer, it also allows you to see emails on the same subject on one page so you don't have to scour through your Sent Items and Inbox to make sense of the subject.

I have been using the internet for a year now and most people I know use Google,so I sarted using just it.Over the months,I went on to discover other possibilities and I am very happy now using Yahho Mail,Yahoo Answers and My Yahoo.I still prefer Google for searching but I don't like gmail,I use it for some practical reasons but don't feel confortable whith it.I think it is good to have alternatives and to be able to use many different resources,in a way that works for you.

I like it alot. It can be slow and buggy... very much a beta. It has great potential and a huge improvement over the old system. Keyboard shortcuts are really nice. I think once it's in production it will give gmail a run for its money.

Gmail scans your computer, due to its algorythms. They ask first, but in order to run Gmail - you have to allow them to scan - for behavioral activity and spam reduction.\n\nSome folks are ok with it - others feel its a "violation" of their privacy - but again - they ask first - you get to decide. Considering the amswers here - I wonder if anyone knew that when they got an account...

check your inbox i sent your invite\n\n\n◙  GMail Help ◙ \n\n◙ Here is some information that will help you with GMail.\n\n◙ One of the best features is how easy it is to keep up with a conversation with a single friend. All of your previous posts to that\nperson are right there for you to review in case you forgot what you were talking about. Another good feature is that everyone that emails you is automatically added into your contacts list (address book). Currently there is no way to opt out of that. Maybe later they will add that feature.\n\n◙ GMail is currently in beta testing and isn't ready to be released to the general public. This is why you had to be invited to use it instead of just signing up for it like you would normally do with everything else. Because it is still being tested it will occasionally not do what you want it to do. When this happens keep trying until it gives up and report it to one of the following GMail Help groups below.\n\n◙ Usually after a week or two you will be given the ability to invite others to Gmail. You will know when the time comes because a form will appear in the lower-left corner of your screen. Also when answering an email you will see a link that says "Invite So And So To Gmail". So and so is the name of the person you are emailing.\n\n► http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Discussion\n\n► http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Gmail-Generation\n► http://s90215429.onlinehome.us/sjvilla79/content/gg-faq.html\n\n◙ Other helpful GMail links.\n► http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail\n► http://email.about.com/od/gmail/\n► http://www.google.com/search?q=gmail&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N\n\n◙ PLUS ADDRESSING ◙\n\n◙ Gmail also supports "plus-addressing" of emails. Messages can be sent to addresses in the form: gmail.user+extratext@gmail.com where extratext can be any string. Plus-addressing allows users to sign up for different services with different aliases and then easily filter all e-mails from those services. It does not appear, however, that the +string feature works when sending email from a gmail account to itself. Additionally (in some cases) the string appended to the e-mail address may not be longer than six characters. Below is an example.\nfred@gmail.com and fred+amazon+shopping will send email to the same inbox.\n\n◙ There are some other things you can do with the space in your Gmail account. One of them is called "GDrive". It's a program you download that lets you use your Gmail account as a network drive. Search Google with the keyword "gmail" and you'll see a lot of new stuff. More is being created everyday.\n\n◙ Anyone wanting a GMail email address can get one from me by emailing cssiscool@gmail.com I have hundreds of invites left. When I run out I can get more.\n\n◙ NOTE: If you have a cell phone or pda with internet access you do not need to be invited. You can sign yourself up.\n► http://gmail.google.com/

Gmail! You have to be invited by a gmail user to get it. I can invite you, just e-mail me at justaskforit@gmail.com .\n\nGmail is Google's free webmail service. It comes with built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you're looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations. \n\nThere are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, only small text ads. Ads and related information are relevant to your messages, so instead of being obtrusive, they may even be useful for once. \n\nGmail also integrates instant messaging right into the email experience, so you can stay in even better touch with your friends when you're online. Easy, efficient and maybe even fun to use. It's a whole new way to think about email. It's Google's approach to email.

Try the beta Google E-mail, Gmail.\n\nAlthough it probably isn't looked favorably upon posting this at Yahoo!, gmail is definitely the best email client I have yet encountered. Although it requires you to be invited by a participating member, if you can find someone to send an invite it is well worth it.

It depends for what purpose. Overall, I think one needs to assess what it is that they want. I think yahoo for e-mail purposes is extremely user friendly and I like the new BETA format that e-mails can be viewed and accessed in. I am able to organize my e-mails and my spam for that matter alphabetically in yahoo and can just select several e-mails at once to delete or easily drag e-mails into folders. I also like that yahoo has made it really easy to compose e-mails. As you start to type someone's name, yahoo will automatically narrow down the possibilities of who you are trying to e-mail and bring up a drop down menu of names you can select. On google, I like the fact that I can chat directly within gmail. I also like the fact that my instant message exchanges are automatically saved on gmail. Overall, I think the searching is more extensive on google. It really just depends on what you want to use them for. Good luck!

1. You've got a huge amount of storage for your email: almost 3 GB\n2. You can use Google Docs and Spreadseets (web based word editor and excel spreadsheets )\n3. You can create your own web site with localized downloads ( 100 MB ) and tons of features.\n4. You can use Google Reader (  web based rss, xml, atom.. reader ); it's better than most desktop applications ( keyboard shortcuts ... and lots of features )\n5. You can use their calendar.....\n6. A lot of other things (all free)\n7. You don't need to switch right away; create your account see how it works; and switch when you feel comfortable (like me)\n\nGet Gmail invites from this site http://www.bytetest.com/ ( it's completely automated; click and you're at the Gmail sign-up page )

First and Foremost - have you looked at Yahoo's email?  It's very good - and sound like it will do what you want.  Plus, the Beta (not yet fully released - but soon - I HOPE!) is looking like it will blow all other web based emails (Hotmail, Gmail) out of the water!!!  I can't wait!  :)\n\nSecond - try Thunderbird.  (http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird)\n\nIt's supposed to be an excellent email program - and offers a TON of add-ons that will help you make it even more powerful.  Just know that it is a program in flux.  It's what is called "Open-Source" meaning the code for it is open, and everyone helps build it and work with it.  This is a good thing, but also means a program like that will operate like a beta program at times because it needs to be "tweaked" yet.\n\nI also have a friend who likes "The Bat."  I know nothing about it - other than he LOVES it and swears by it.  Do a Yahoo search on "The Bat Email" and you'll find it.  :)\n\nI hope this helps!

Have a look to a comparison in ConsumerSearch "Web Email Reviews":\n\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/reviews.html\n\n"Experts say Gmail is easily the best Web e-mail service, beating both MSN Hotmail and Yahoo in reviews. Gmail gets the most press for its 2GB of storage space, but Gmail also gets kudos for its intuitive organization features; users can assign labels to individual e-mails for sorting, and ongoing reply e-mails organize in blog-like fashion. You can access Gmail through a desktop e-mail client (such as Outlook Express), and Gmail gives infrequent users a lot of latitude, only canceling an account after nine months of inactivity. The main concern with Gmail is that it scans each incoming message for keywords, displaying text ads relevant to those keywords. Still, experts say the ads are unobtrusive, especially compared to Hotmail and Yahoo."\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/index.html
