I just read that hotmail only gives 250 MB of space, while gmail gives you about 2500 MB. That's a huge difference. What about Yahoo?

I have both, and I think Yahoo is better for the following reasons:

1. i don't like hotmail's color scheme
2. yahoo's spam filter is way better
3. you can search your emails
4. not m$

Advantages of Hotmail:
1. easier to jump to pages of your inbox.

I don't know how either could be better than Gmail. It's the only email account that hasn't been spammed a single time and I use all three. To be fair, Yahoo! gets the brunt of my junk mail but I like it the least overall. The most annoying thing about hotmail for me is that it doesn't always work with Mozilla. I believe it's Microsoft trying to sabatoge anything that's not IE.

I agree with all of the above for Yahoo. It's better organized. Looks better, you can search your emails. You have oodles of space. Well, basically everything Aaron said.

Hotmail has the worst spam filter known to man. And it just seems so outdated screenwise. Tiny print.

Gmail-I had soo many problems with not being able to access my account for hours at a time that I sound no way and reverted back to Yahoo.

Gmail is much more stable now. Plus, now you can format text.

Doesn't anyone use the service that comes with their ISP? My Earthlink thingy works hunky-dory.

I've got a Yahoo account I never use...it's a Spam magnet.
