Just to let you all know, gmail is the best free email system.. you get 2.6 gb free storage when you open an account, and that number goes up daily, when i got gmail it was 2.4 gb. if you want an invite (i think its invite only) PM me ur current email and ill send you an invite..

viva la gmail!!!

Imageshack is better for image storing! :P It has an unlimited storage amount! :biggrin:

you can store any file in gmail (up to 10 mb) imageshack has a 1mb storage place, and you have to remember all the links to the images you host. gmail is a simple way to organize more than just pictures...

No it doesn't, it's just not specified.

I also like the way gmail posts messages as a conversation, so you know what you said, what what the answer, etc.
It would be extra nice if you could link files with gmail. I think +2 gb is way too much for emails. I'd rather have that for hosting my maps, for example.

Gmail is great, but what's even better is Gmail POP. Now I don't even need to go through the site!

Gmail > All. It's fast, simple UI, no ads and most importantly, google isn't an evil satan-run corporation.

One thing about gmail that bothers me (its no big deal, but I thought I would bring it up) is that when you carry on a conversation with someone in an email it puts parerenthesis () and a number next to the email. I use Outlook at work, and i constantly think i have new mail in gmail because of those numbers (in out look (1) means one new message) Not entireley inportant, i know, but this is the proper thread to mention these things.

outlook is from microsoft, and therefore is evil. :thefinger: I only use it to sync my ppc.

Then I guess the insurance industry is evil.... lol it is :) :nuke:
I like outlook, I just dont like the price tag attached to Office products. they work wonderfully, and I never have issues with them, but it costs way too much for me to want to buy it. But thay doesnt matter, cuz I got ahold of a cracked Office, and a cracked Windows XP, so I can make all the computers I want, as long as I dont Windows Update. (which I never do anyways ;) ) Us TWHLers have a tendancy to get off topic.... now, back to gmail!

Gmail FTW

The best features in Gmail can be summed up in two words:

1. shortcut
2. thread

It's revolutionary. I can't imagine emails any other way now.

Thunderbird does messages by threads. I'm not sure whether it followed GMail, though. Opera beat GMail on the subject, though.
