lol. The Gmail one is so me. I love those Google guys and their crazy stuff.
No other company would make a software that when you uninstall it, it says
"Are you sure you want to uninstall Google Chrome? (was it something we said?)". That Kills me.
And I love the Yahoo one (so true).
But you did not go over email providers that are not mainstream (like Colleges' webmails).
I've been trying to convince everyone in my college that Gmail is better than our stupid 100mb memory webmail (called Squiremail). 100mb vs unlimited, why can't people get it?
And what the heck is a operamail?

Most of my fellow teenage friends just use facebook. I use Gmail for anything I can't get in an rss feed on my iGoogle page, which is not very much. Gmail also allows me to automagically forward any email to my cell phone in text-message form, or forward emails from relatives to the family @our isp account. I rarely check email, but social networking is where it's at for communicating these days.

scuse me, what about outlook express? does that say something about you or me? I can handle large volumes of emails daily, handle them in groups, store in myriad folders, sort it several ways to get rid of stuff I forgot to delete, and its so fast. hotmail, yahoo! they all take forever to pull up, read, and dispose of 1 message, settings are easy, so what gives?(I dont use it for business either)
Doesnt mean I'm a Microsoft fan, it's just a great app for me

[WARDOGZ]

What about GMX? it's just been voted by 'webuser' (a popular UK magazine)as the best email provider, beating hotmail and gmail. I use it and have all my hotmail and gmail sent there, so i can pick them all up in one place.

Why is it that you send articles from MacWorld under the PCWorld heading?

As a non-Mac owner, these articles do not apply to my equipment at all and, frankly, I resent having to look at them.

Please discontinue sending me anything from MacWorld under the PCWorld label.
I've never owned, nor do I have any desire to own, an Apple product.

You forgot to mention when you use MS products, all you do is struggle with the crappy UI and lose your email when the system crashes? That is after hours of sifting spam from legitimate email because the email filter sucks.

[bignumone]

Mmmm, Apple products!

Best in the world!

Better than HP and Dell because they don't die after just enough time to get a load of important data on you HD, making it unrecoverable.They last years and years with-out software and hardware problems.

Maybe you should try one before you criticize, hmmm?

[warmbreath]

I dont have crashes or lose email, I have a simple PC old, no bells and whistles

[Cybershepherd]

Suppose you have your own url, own and maintain Apples and PCs and use public accounts like Yahoo, etc. so the junk mail doesn't come to your home accounts?

[slhaynes]

All of this dialog over webmail use is just PC (politically correct) garbage. Use what works for you and enjoy yourself. Please notice that I use complete sentences also!

[Cybershepherd]

Right On.

[squishie]

Who cares? They all basically work the same way. It's like saying a certain stamp works better than another stamp on a envelope.

[snorg]

You didnt mention mail.com
I use mail.com now.
I quit hotmail cuz its pond scum.

[rasmasyean]

I use Hotmail or Livemail or whaterver you call it. But I never go to the web site. I POP it, and get it PUSHed directly to my mobile instantly as it comes in. "Recently", they made the PUSH service free. I think it used to be preimium under "hotmail plus" or something like that.

Maybe that qualifies me as the "button down" type...who thinks his emails require urgent attention as they arrive...Yeah. That's right! All you other people are low-lives with no responsibilities, especially you cool mac dudes who hang out in cafes all day!

[rem736]

if you're going to profile users of email services, at least make it credible. did you even do a simple survey? you're last group, the "No Email Account" group, does not exist as you've describe. yes, they communicate via text, IM, twitter, facebook, etc. but how are they able to sign up for those services (all but texting via cell phone) without having an email address to link to. and since they don't buy cds, are you implying that they all steal music? because to buy digital music (or anything else) on the internet, they still need an email address.

[rasmasyean]

...I don't think this was meant to be taken seriously. It's just a joke.

[zainkazmi786]

All of the Above

[mpheadley]

What a bunch of horse crap!

What about the hotmail users (like me) who have been using hotmail LONG before Microsoft took over and forces crappy slow service for a while until they work out bugs? Hotmail is running ok now, runs more flash-like, but as they were going through the growing pains of those updates, I couldn't even use internet explorer because of regular crashes! That event got me to use firefox everyday. But now hotmail runs fine in Internet Explorer. But I've been using hotmail LONG before yahoo, gmail, and the peak of AOL's popularity!

And what about ALL the email service users who simply hate the way their friends switch email addresses more often than they change their underwear and they are content and satisfied with their email service that they've been using for years because they only use the basic features anyway?!

Finally, how many of us have MULTIPLE email accounts, but one real one we use everyday, because we are forced to create them in order to use each web site's services? I have at least one (probably more that I don't even remember) yahoo account, a gmail account, and who knows how many other accounts that are totally dormant!!! And I bet those other services are a big reason why people use the same brand's individual email service. I would bet that is the reason why most people use a particular service and not their personality!

[rasmasyean]

You know what I find really funny?
AOL Mail uses Silverlight while Hot/Live/<insert next marketing name here> Mail from Microsoft is not!
And we all know AOL will one day simply die and get it over with and the name will disappear under some other larger entity. LOL
