Yahoomail, hotmail, gmail??
I love gmail
Reply:Funnily enough, I have tried all three of those. I like Gmail's chat and Hotmail's choice of skin. I wouldn't change much about them apart from interface - could be more aesthetic and user-friendly.
Reply:A medium with sufficient room to save our personal and public files,such as MSN SKY space. free blogs such as blogspot service of Gmail or Yahoo360.


high ability and performance of Mails management.
Reply:Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail all give me:


- a non-ISP based email address (giving me the freedom to change ISPs at will). Generic email effectively gives me the same email address for life. In middle age this is less important than if I were say 20, but very useful nevertheless. "Electronic identities" for life will become the norm in my opinion.


- an email system I can access from anywhere in the world with absolutely no fuss.


- robustness and reliability - another requirement that many ISPs fail to meet.


- data security in the form of backups. When I tried to back up Outlook, there was some messing around, plus the recovery did not happen as effectively as it should.


- prety good spam protection. I have less than 2 wrongly classified emails a week at pesent.








WISHLIST


========





1. The Y! editor allows custom stationary but does not give me easy access to special characters. I cannot remember all the ALT-%26lt;whatever%26gt; codes that date back to DOS days.





2. Improved spell checking, with auto-correct being almost a basic requirement these days.





3. I used to use ICQ a lot, but slowly stopped as it lost relevance to me. I cannot recall which product I used, but one IM product supported video and audio. It was shocking - yet this functionality is a requirement. If an IM tool existed which tied to my email address book, showing me who was online and available (like ICQ did) that would be useful. However the quality must be at least SVGA standard and with proper color depth.





I would perceive the email to be a signifcant "part" of a communications suite - which encompassed IM and videoconferencing, file transfer, etc. Quality, reliable video messaging will come - just when though?





4. The ability to connect to someone elses machine (with their permission) to troubleshoot/assist with a problem. Or access for joint compilation of a shared document. I would see and manipulate their screen, with them seeing what I am doing. This would be within a window on my screen. I'd sell my soul for an easy way to do this.





5. Improved 'perception' of generic accounts. I was amazed to be told at a job interview that generic email accounts were mainy held by spammers and people considered 'unstable' or unreliable; ie, they could not commit to an ISP. Whatever would I want to do that for?





I heard this said once again in a similar context, that Yahoo and Hotmail addresses were "known" for this.





6. A batch/bulk file transfer system. Faster than current attachment techniques. I want to be able to rapidly select a group of files (say up to 100), mark them, and have them transferred en masse without the current rigmarole.





Again, just another part of the communications suite concept.





7. The freedom to use Outlook Express as my email client with a generic address. I do not think I will leave Y!, it meets my needs very well for now. Nobody else can do what I am list here either and I am sure Yahoo developers will be working on issues like these.





8. Faster editor. I have reverted to the old Y! editor as the new one was so slow - alhough a superior product obviously. There is no such thing as too fast or too functional.





9. Text to audio conversion. Not vital.





10. How about spoken emails which get compressed into a file and transferred and appearing as an email in the inbox, but in reality a playback of the senders voice.





There is more, but that will do for now. Overall I rate my own experience with generic providers (I have tried 3) as good, with Yahoo being my personal favorite. I know whole continents of people will laugh at this comment, but don't care. As a user of email since 1984, I am not unfamiliar with email packages (and remember the 'text based' products).
