Default Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail ?

Hello buddies,
Which email servive do you use and why ?

I use all the three. I use hotmail email basicly just for MSN messenger. I use Yahoo and Gmail emails for messages. Mostly I use Gmail for business related contacts while I use Yahoo for my friends related communication.

What about you ?

Thanks,
John Wright.

Good question.

I use hotmail.com as it's a good mailing system and has a user friendly interface. It's pretty professional and is very easy to use. As I use my MSN ID for chatting purposes too, it helps me when people need to contact me via email. I do use Yahoo!; however, I use it as an email address when filling surveys. :lol:

I have a hotmail account that I just let fill up with spam. I had yahoo and gmail accounts but I can't stand either of their interfaces.

I usually just use the webmail that comes with my domain name - faster, cleaner interface, and much more mobile friendly.

I set up my domain to forward mails to gmail, yahoo and hotmail. So I use them all!

But I usually use gmail web interface because I like the conversation view, I found it very convenient indeed. Hotmail always catches spam, no good. :evil:

i use all 3 also, but Gmail is by far the best, its a lot faster and easier to use, and i like how its much more customisable.
the yahoo and hotmail spam filter doesnt seem to work too good either ;\

I mainly use the one that my ISP provides, either that or Gmail.

i use hotmail for messenger, yahoo for forums :P and gmail for messages.

in other words i use Gmail it is the best, since they use Ajax as the main web develop language, thats why it is faster.
the spam killer is not that good, but it is better than hotmail and yahoo.
you have 2745 MB for storage.
mobile interface is faster and friendly.
and the best... it doesnt have all that advertising, its annoying :S

I use Yahoo and gmail. But while saving the files and forwarding the attachement i prefer yahoo, since gmail doesnot support exe file.

I have used both Gmail & Yahoo for years and i still give more preference to Yahoo! Its just that the messenger 9 interface of Yahoo is so deadly that i just love it. (Dont have Hotmail ID.)

Talking about spam, for me, i am not so much affected and that both are doing a great job.

I will say both are equally good, but then when it comes to looks and interface, 1 point more to Yahoo!
