Why do you prefer your email provider over others (feature-wise)?

From web app CrazyJugglerDrummer

• I use Gmail (Google Mail) and I love it, for a few reasons:

  • Very user-friendly and easy to use
  • Lots of space (7.5GB)
  • It has free features that many other email providers offer for a charge, such as mail forwarding, POP3/IMAP/Exchange access, etc.
  • Organization is built-in, with labels and filters
  • Search is very good (well, it's Google)

  It's very easy to adapt Gmail to whatever you want to do with it. For example, I have a central Gmail account to which all my other email addresses forward. I have also set up the "send mail from" feature, so that I can not only receive email sent to other accounts, but also send email from those accounts.

  From Maxim Zaslavsky

• I use Gmail through Google Apps because:

  • It lets me use my own domain name for my emails, so I don't have to be @gmail.com
  • I can access it in a wide variety of ways - POP, IMAP, Web, mobile
  • It allows me offline access (via Google Gears, but eventually HTML5 I believe)
  • Loads of space so I don't need to worry about that
  • Lots of other useful features like forwarding, send as, labs apps...
  • It also seems to run a lot faster than Hotmail or Yahoo Mail in my experience.
