What Messenger/email Service Do You Use?

I went with gmail when the hype began. Nice inbox size, and it's brilliant if all you want is a good email service. However, I switched back to hotmail simply because of it's MSN compatibility. MSN is still the best instant messenger, IMO. Highly doubt I'll be using whatever gmail is gonna come up with. MSN has climbed so high above the other clients that I believe it won't go down without a fight Anyhoo, what does everyone else use? Hotmail? Yahoo? Gmail? ISP email? Or what IM client? MSN? AIM? Waiting for gmail messenger? Post away.

I use loads of different email accounts for all sorts of different things. Google has had an IM program for GMail accounts out for ages, called Google Talk, and in my opinion it works much better than MSN Messenger, YIM and especially AIM. You can also get video conversations for it too. I use Hotmail for newsletters and things rather than personal communication, and I tried Yahoo for about a week, hated it and scrapped it. I have 5 ISP email accounts, and a GMail account, which I use for personal emails.

First for the messenger, there aren't that many people usisng GMail yet so it's not as popular and not everybody has it. I have tried their messenger it's not as good as yahoo and msn.

and msn (windows live) and yahoo have come together now, so you can add yahoo contacts to msn and vice-versa and just use any one on the messenger.

also trillian is nice. you can add msn, yahoo, aol and some other services if you want all in one.

for email, gmail is nice and i also use hotmail.

Im with Gmail. I just use the account as a virus filtering one. I set up a redirect to my actual email account that i can check from home and school really fast.

I have a seperate hotmail account for MSN only.

For my email I use a .btconnect account, which goes straight to Outlook. I also have another email that I use that is re-directed to my .btconnet.com account. I then have a hotmail account, a g-mail account, and several yahoo accounts.

I use MSN for instant messaging, as it is what everyone else uses, and it seems to work fairly well.

For my email, I make use of GMail as well as Hotmail depending on the situation. GMail is usually used to store my school projects attachment, so basically you can say it is a hosting site for my school projects backup. Hotmail is more of a personal email whereby I use to register for forums, receive email from friends ... etc, in short my email address at hotmail is more of my personal email. Why did I not choose GMail since it has more space compared to hotmail? The reason being that hotmail is easily accessible just by a click on your messenger.

I am using Windows Live Messenger at the moment. The point of having a messenger is to be able to communicate with your friends on your list, if majority of your friends are not using that particular messenger, why would you want to use it? Besides hotmail address are not usable on a Google Messenger and vice versa; their rivalry has caused so much inconvenience to the GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo users.

Hotmail and MSN messenger for emails from freinds and chatting. But GMAIL for the more serious emails i.e Ebay, Buisness... I dont think theres a single person at my schools that uses Yahoo messenger. I also highly doubt anyone can be othered changing to whatever GMAIL comes up with

These day's I've switched primarily to Gmail. I figure I don't have any important emails anyway, so even if they archive everything, all they're going to get are a bunch of links I post to myself, some newsletter/magazine subscriptions, and some innocent chat between myself and some friends. Hotmail seems to have a lot of lag for me, and since I've changed ISPs a few times over the past few years, using their email service doesn't seem to be an option anymore as I don't really want to start a new email address on a regular basis.

For instant messengers, I was originally an ICQ and Yahoo user, but everyone seemed to be jumping on the MSN bandwagon. I remember when it used to be much much simpler, only a few years ago. I only use it now because I have all my contacts on there. Otherwise, IRC is looking to be much better for my purposes
