Hmm for me Gmail is so good email they provide really 1 Gb by the way I can't read any mail in gmail with my language.
so I use it only for save my file on them. And for recive many subscribe mail.

Hotmail now I got 250 mb it is enough to use and with this hotmail I can use it to sign-in with msn messenger.
I has got many friend there. (I'm on chat addictive )
So I will go with hotmail.

Honestly, is this even a question? . Really, there is no competition. Gmail is much better, it doesnt have any ads or anything graphical to slow down the load time. There is no cr@p and basically it has better features.

Hotmail isnt very good, it is just filled with ads and stuff no-one needs or uses.

Well, thats my opinion.

What is better?
Gmail Or Hotmail

Gmail.

I have been a hotmail user for 8 years. That was the time of myspace and msn. Those days are gone and I needed a sophisicated email with pop3 and imap. Also I needed to change my name to something more approiate for my age. When I went with hotmail I thought nothing about it. It was the first email I had. Then I realized that its features arent so great, and there can be more added, Also the ads are annoying.

Unfortunately fear switching makes customers worried about switching service. People are scared of friends changing their email address, contacts, email messages, and the adaptability to switch. With gmail it is so much better!. They have made a new service that it will reveive your old email adderss into gmail! So right now I am recieving my old emails from hotmail and at the same time I am recieving gmail from 1 account. Gmail also has great features like chat, advanced spam filter, label (which is good for combining your hotmail to gmail), easy contact import, great user interface, themes are very nice, and something called labs (where it gives extra features that grow).

I am very satisfied with gmail. My favorite feature is that the school cant block it because it runs google servers (which is the most important site in my school). So if you are a hotmail user, switch, you will not regret it.

Definitely Hotmail for me. I have a gMail account and I cannot stand it. The interface is ugly and messages are annoying to try and display. Even with a dialup connection you can still view Windows Live™ Mail without to much of a fuss. I think it still has Classic View Support, you could also try getting the Windows Live™ Mail software, which gives you a hotmail desktop client.

You can change the looks of Gmail on their site. I'm not sure how customized you can make it though.

Honestly, regardless as to what email service you're using, I would highly suggest using a pop3 program anyways. Then you don't even have to look at the "ugly interface."

Gmail has a very simple interface. It's a clean view.

As for speed, it's much faster when sending larger files or receiving them.

As for the fact it has BUILT IN CHAT, +1

The organization of emails on Gmail is better. Nothing beats every email being compacted into one. Much easier to keep up with previous emails back and forth.

Skinnable, very nice as well.

Gmail also offers FREE pop3 service, whereas hotmail you either pay for it or just use http service.


So I see nothing about Gmail that isn't better than Hotmail, .

Gmail is better.
For slow internet connections like dial ups. we can see gmail in classic version.
But hotmail nowdays called windows live mail needs high speed of Internet connection.
Also sometimes problems with clicking /reading mails on Internet explorer (MSG: error on page at statusbar)
SO Gmail is better than hotmail.

13. Why Is Gmail Still Beta? - what's the policy behind keeping a beta version (7)

    I've been using GMail for almost three years, probably got it a few months after it was
    launched. I like it very much, the most out of all webmail systems I've tried. When I started
    using it I was thinking "OK, that beta will be dropped soon", then I got used to seeing the logo
    that way. Now I wonder what's the reason to keep the "beta" indication? Is it some sort of
    disclaimer ("if it loses your mail it's your problem") or just that people got used to it and
    removing it would mean losing users ("mmm it may soon become a paid service..", I know that does...

17. Which Antivirus Gmail Is Using? - A person found out it is Sophos! (12)

    Hey everyone! While surfing the internet I found out an intersing report..which claims that Gmail
    is using Sophos as the antivirus. This guy used a free service in which he sent out some malwares
    and that service gave out the report of major antiviruses...like which one detected it and which
    didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the
    same malwares which sophos found...so that means there algorithm is same...so it has to be sophos!

19. An Ode To Gmail. - A small text about how GMail is awesome. (5)

    Everyone wanted a piece of the e-mail pie. Microsoft made a free e-mail service. Yahoo! made a free
    e-mail service. AOL did so too. Each with their goods and bads, their limitations and restrictions.
    Until the savior came. Google decided to do the smart move and make a revolutionary kind of e-mail.
    Starting off with their beta program that made use of invitations, many people (including me) found
    the truly amazing experience and the easy to use interface of GMail it's key points to lead the
    e-mail game. GMail kept spreading like mad. Then, account creation went l...

    Hai GMail share the feelings that you got when you recived your first GMail Invite. Here is mine
    At first when I received a mail from Google that contained the link for my GMail account, my joy was
    boundless. I signed up for GMail on 2/19/05 the time when GMail was just released and GMail invites
    are rare. I was the only student in my college atthat time having a GMail Account. That made my
    friends look in jealousy. That was great time. ...

22. Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage? - (8)

    I came across this topic which basically says that you can use Gmail to store your files. If
    you're lucky, you get some free gmail invites to be sent to your friends when you open a gmail
    account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
    gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting
    yourself) And that means more storage space if you use each account to store 2 GB of things right?
    Could it possibly rival other premium data backup services online, most importantly...

23. Microsoft Says Gmail Is A Virus - (65)

    software Windows Live OneCare. Many people are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning
    is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A". Now, either Gmail is a virus, or
    Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
    do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
    fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def...
