This all was taken from the J!NX topic
http://www.jinx.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51704&whichpage=1Gmail needs a inventation or a phone number to limit the people who use the truly awsome service. Some people are just paranoid and don't want to give out their phone number, and it is sometimes hard to get an inventation. I have 8 yahoo accounts, all of them for spam/other things. Here are some reasons why I hate Yahoo
1. Yahoo itself sends me about 1 spam message everyday
2. They have ads in every e-mail you send out
3. They don't have that much room
4. They sell your e-mail address unless you sign up for the expensive account
5. Their filters arn't good
6. So many people use them you can never get the name you want without putting abunch of numbers behind it
7. The support team doesn't really do much to support e-mail problems
8. If you enter an "Alternate Address" they will sell that too
I can keep going on and on. I can't think of a reason why I hate gmail. So i'll list some reasons why I like them.
1. Gmail has some of the best spam filters around
2. Gmail doesn't spam you
3. Gmail doesn't sell your e-mail address
4. Gmail has so much space you never need to delete anything
5. Gmail doesn't have ads they put in your e-mails
6. Gmail has a great spoofed e-mail detector (it uses ip address to server)
7. Gmail keeps things stored in conversations so you can keep everything together and find it easy
8. Gmail has a great chat feature similar to AIM
9. Gmail doesn't spam you then filter it just to make it look like they have a good filtering service.
Once again I could keep going on and on
