Gmail as my main email service, although I also use Windows Live Mail, and I regularly access my Gmail account from Windows Live Mail Desktop. The reaon I prefer Gmail is mainly becuase of it's anvanced filtering and labeling system, which I find to be more extensive then Windows Live Mails folder system, I also like the actually competant spam filter which keeps my Gmail inbox free from junk at all times. As for Instant Messaging I use Windows Live Messenger, because non of my friends used Google Talk, which for me is the better IM client, due to it's clean interface and lack of useless bloat I'm not going to use, that just plain p*** me off (winks and nudges anyone)

I use both hotmail and gmail, but mostly hotmail serve as my private mail box while my gmail account serve as known to all and the number of spam message received increase everyday... Gmail now has nearly 3GB of mailbox spaces and its the perfect mail service for anyone that receive loads of spam everyday... However, hotmail serve as a rather good service for me now since they have the live mail beta now and are offering anyone using the beta with a 2GB of mail spaces, both works like a dime!

For messenger service I'm using MSN's Windows Live Messenger... They are currently the best and the most used messenger service and are almost unbeatable... I use my gmail account as a .NET passport and serve as my msn address... Live Messenger is getting lots of new features and current the new 8.1 version of WLM is underway in beta and out new soon...

Because I like to be able to contact people in various different Instant Messaging clients I use trillian. Inside it I have a MSN account, an Google Chat account, a Yahoo account and an ICQ Account.. I use mIRC as IRC client because the built in IRC client in Trillian isn't very advanced.

I have a huge history with different E-Mail serivces.

First I used the home computer with a really old program that I can't thikn off the top of my head, I think it was Endora or something. But that didn't do it for me, and everyone was talking about online E-Mail services. This was way back in the day, about 10 years ago, last century. This brought me to Yahoo. Yahoo seemed to work great, it was this cool thing to use back then, but eventually sources found outt aht Yahoo! was selling private information to companies, so I switched to Hotmail. Once again, this was a long time ago, and telephone calls were more popular than E-Mail, so I didn't check it much. Eventually when I did check it, they deleted my account from inactivity, so the search was on again. This brought me accross a brilliant website, Military.com. For all intents and purposes, Military.com gave me everything I needed, but it's interface was very basic, not flashy like all the others you see. One major upshot is that you don't recieve much spam E-Mail. After all, you don't wanna mess with the military right? Finally, everyone was abuzz about the new client, GMail, the Google E-Mail. A friend sent me an invite, and soon I had about 1000 invites, and that is what I am using to this day.

I actually use both Gmail and Hotmail, but the Hotmail account I only use because there's certain things that get sent there, that I don't really feel like changing my address for, and I don't want to forward everything, as it does get a lot of spam at this point.

I have two gmail accounts -- one for professional stuff, one for the everyday.

As for messengers, I prefer AIM, but I use Trillian, which combines MSN, AIM, and Yahoo! into one, and I do have contacts for each, so it's useful. Just kind of buggy at times.

For my email needs, I use Gmail. Its a great free service, that gives you a lot of space for emails, and it has some nice features that come with it such as the chat embedded into the email site, 2.7k MB of space, and tons of more nice features.

For Instant messaging, I user MSN Messenger. AIM needs some work, personally I don't like AIM, It has too many popups IMO, and lookwise is ugly

I use the typical free email accounts that are very generous in size. I have a MSN account, that is also my MSN messanger just for connacting my friends. It is very useful because it logs into my MSN on start up and shows me a window that tells me if I have any new emails, updates, or other things that should be told to me. The disadvantages is that there is only 250 MB space on the mail storage. Another mail I mostly use for most of my emailing is YahooMail. I have 5 email accounts with it and it has a space of 1 GB. I think it is pretty good a free mailing service. Another email account I have is for google that's also known as gmail. I use that email for my webpage submission. The downfall is you have to be invited to have a gmail account, but I was invited my brother. It has a nice amount of 2771 MB. Finally, but not least, is the Trap17 mail accounts where you may have unlimited amounts of accounts, and the space is relied on your disk space. All of these services are great and helpful for others and myself, thank you for them.
