What u think is better gmail our aim? Both got 2 gigs, though gmail has like 2.2 workin on 2.3.

What do u think is the best?

gmail foreva!

I like gmail better, faster loadin on my 56k.

But at least I got like over 4.5 GB of email space all together...............

My SBC Yahoo mail. 2GB also. And some other stuff.

Other emails may have 2 gigs, but GMail is run by Google!
Come on! It's Google! What's not to like?

G-G-G G-Mail!

Biotch!

woah..back up..aim has e-mail?

Hehe, gmail owns all.

I don't like the company behind AIM or Yahoo.

AOL is like a virus that basicly *** :banned: *** 's up your computer and gives you a poor internet connection. One time I used AOL "broadband" because cable wasn't in my area, lets just say that anything you've heard about AOL is actually far worse, as I got to enjoy a latency of I believe "9999" in every game I played. Then, when I uninstalled that *** :banned: *** it *** :banned: *** 'ed my system to where I had to reformat the drive (delete everything, including Windows) and start from scratch.

I never really had a problem with Yahoo other than script kiddies until recently, when the corporation filed a frivolous lawsuit against the honorable XFire staff claiming that it infringed on a bull *** :banned: *** patent that claims Yahoo owns the concept of instant messaging people while they are in a game. This isn't the first time that Yahoo has tried to sue a smaller company out of business for it's own personal gain, so they can eat *** :banned: *** .

Really, I am pleased with google, they offer just about everything, probably some day WILL have everything, but they don't have any lame flashing images in their ads (which go straight to the block list).

Sorry for my over-use of the *** :banned: *** emote, I hope I don't get *** :banned: *** for it. If I put more thought into it, I probably wouldn't have used it at all as it's animated and will really annoy the reader, but I am lazy, so too late now.

Gmail > *

I got a message from "eBay" earlier today telling me my account had been accessed by a third party. Now, this was, of course, odd seeing as I don't HAVE an eBay account. And even if I've forgotten about one that I may have made, there was NEVER any credit card information attached to it. ANYWAYS, Gmail stuck a warning at the top of the message in bold print alerting me to the fact that said message may not be from who it appeared to be.

That right there made my day. Hell, I knew it was bogus to BEGIN with, but to see thought like THAT put into an email service I'm using is just awesome.

Yeah, it's good to know that Google can detect phishing and warn the user. That should help lower the rate of identity theft and account hijacking a little bit.

GOOGLE IS MONOPOLIZING!!!

Gmail..
Better interface. Only thing I don't like about it - It should have an "Add Contact" list when you open an email, in addition to having to go to contacts first, then say "send email"

And Gmail/google is funner. They throw in little bits of humour someplaces.

I don't even use GMail for it's 2 gig purposes. I use Gmail because it's simply a superior browser mail service. I hate e-mail programs, and need a lot from my e-mail services. Gmail gives me it all and more. Every time I use Gmail I look for a feature that I would have implimented, and sure enough, it's there. And exactly where I expected it to be. That's just simply damn good service.

I would trust Google with my life.

As kirby pointed out, Gmail has a lot more to offer than space. They have competant programmers and engineers that know how to make an intuitive GUI, unlike competitors. Their support also stomps everything else.

For years I looked for a good e-mail service that offered POP3 support. Then I found Gmail, and I don't NEED POP3 or IMAP support - because for the first time, a web interface is superior to every mail program I can find - Thunderbird included. Though granted the Gmail interface needs some tweaking, but it is beta.

Which reminds me, Squirrel King, tell Gmail about the add contact thing, though they probably have had tons of people telling them. I never notice most of the changes they make to the UI, but other people tell me it has changed a lot.

EXACTLY! Webmail is a better idea anyway because you're not so reliant on your hard drive, which could die any second! GMail's webmail is icing on the cake as it really puts email clients to shame.

GMail gives me more space and more features than my broadband ISP! If I ever change my ISP, I will still have my gmail account. An ISP would just say "Haha, you change? Screw you ** deletes account with no forwarding to new inbox **"

Personally, I'd choose the one with the most stringent grammar checker, and the most strict rules regarding replacement of IMSpeak with proper, legible English.

Is it so damned hard to type out the word "you?"

Gmail is superior in all ways to AIM-Mail, but regardless, neither one will save you money on your car insurance like switching to Geico.

Well, if enough people request it, google might implement it.

(car insurance, not grammar/spelling as nobody likes a grammar/spelling nazi)

Oh, how I miss those Grammar Nazi times...

And Gmail for the win.

I hate webmail. I want to use the interface, I want, not what they tell me to use.
And for your first problem you could use IMAP. Emails and directories stay on the server so you always get the same structure, regardless of where or with what program you collect your emails.

I could, but if my HD died I would still have to set all that stuff up again which could take several minutes. This way I can just type "https://gmail.google.com" and log in.

You don't have to use google's interface, you can set up your email client to grab your email. Google's interface just happens to be better than any current email client. It's like an email client that responds to your thoughts.

Hmm if I fell like type u insted of you, I will. Thanks though........:cool:


I have been havin troubles with spam on my gmail. It gets sent the the spam folder which is good, but I wonder how my email got to those spammers!

Your address was probably sold when you signed up for all those porn e-zines.

hotmail was good enough for me when it was 10 mb. who the **** needs 2 gb to store their emails?

Hmm, Massassi? Then again, they don't need free email because they have their own email server that doesn't even have a limit (other than what their ISP/Hard Drive Space allows them).

This coming from a guy with an unlimited space email addy and a website hosted for free on my server. :p

In my opinion, gmail is the most fantastic webmail interface I have ever seen or even bothered to want. It has just about all the features that should be there, and to top it all off, it is really really fast.
I like that it doesn't take that few seconds + then some (for ads) to load. The ads that are displayed, are so relevant and sometimes are funny, but do not take anytime to load, because they are all text ads.
Spell Check is a plus for gmail, but even if other webmails have it, gmail's doesn't take like a minute to load and then more time to replace each word.
I love the idea of 2+ gigs for each mailbox, even though you may not use it all (they probably dont have exactly 2 gigs allocated on a server for each person, just it grows as needed).
The spam and phissing sounds very nice. I think it may already work just by the @gmail itself. I use my gmail account to sign up at sites and everything now and I have not got one spam email from anything. They must see a gmail address and figure why bother, because those messages will be filtered out.

I think google has overdone themselves with this one. I trust google with my mail, and I probably would do the same if they could do a 'virtual computer' thing. I think they know how to run the internet correctly.
