[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1205776"] There's actually little reason to use either one, particularly if you value your privacy, but I'd have to say GMail wins out vs. Hotmail due to GMail having IMAP. For the fellow above who didn't know what IMAP was, Wikipedia can explain it better but in a nutshell: server-based, synced instantly across all your devices e-mail. Better than POP unless you tend to only use one machine. Word to the wise: you may want to sign up for the two-month trial of [URL="http://www.apple.com/mobileme/"]MobileMe[/URL]. Rumour has it big (good) changes are coming, but it's already fairly awesome right now (and could get a LOT MORE AWESOME if rumours hold true). [/QUOTE]
