I get the feeling that my gmail inbox is being tracked somehow too. How else could the ads on the right column be targeted to the exact content in the emails I'm looking through?

^Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

It could be that they're taking that information and only using it for purposes of generating ads...but I remember a recent whistleblower say how the previous administration tracked all files of communication...so I tend to think that the info was not just used in my inbox.

That won't stop me from using Gmail, however, at least not yet. I always try to keep sensitive information off the net or the airwaves anyway.

Big Gmail fan here too. The interface is not as intuitive as the other two, but for me, the speed is the biggest benefit and it blows away yahoo and hotmail IMO. When you get used to the idea of categories instead of folders, it actually becomes quite easy to use, but that's the biggest issue people run into from what I've seen.

I use gmail, mainly for the search function. Because I have to sort through so much mail each day, it really helps to be able to search the right keywords. I also like the highlighting feature, where I can put a star or some other colored icon next to a certain conversation thread. The visual component serves a reminder of important letters to respond to.

I have been a proud user of Yahoo from quite a long time but somehow started using Gmail now and am very happy with gmail, its made life very simple and user friendly. I think Gmail is the best as it provides all the options that you look for and the add ons are especially amazing. Thanks
