Hey
I just got an iMac to replace my Windows desktop. In conjunction with my existing Macbook, I am now a fully-fledged appleboy!
I have setup Mail.app, which seems decent, but does not allow me to use custom folders from Hotmail. I have ascertained nothing can be done about this.
I have setup an email account with GMail as an experiment. The only Microsoft thing I will use now is my XBox, which - I believe - can be moved onto another email account.
GMail seems cleaner, better equipped and works with Mail. Both aesthetically and in terms of features, it seems a better match for Apple software - this email account is many years old!
I'm not sure what IMAP does, but it seems better than Hotmail's POP!
What do you think? Should I make the jump and ditch Hotmail for GMail?
