Which is better...gmail or hotmail?

I'm a Gmail - er as well. For all the reasons that Casey posted above. I just set my dad's new email up in gmail so he can chat with me and my sis when we are on if he wants.

The labeling is the best feature!

I'm going to get a g-mail account too!! I had no idea it was so great!! Thanks ladies!! (and heather for asking the question!)

Only problem now is that I will have 3 email accounts!! I have hotmail for my everyday, yahoo for my junk (if I sign up for anything), and now the gmail! As if I need an excuse to spend more time on the internet!! LOL

Yeah I have three now too...my work email, my hotmail, and now gmail (which I guess I can't really use yet). I love email though so whatevs!

lol I have....at least 5 that I know of.... I have them all set up for different purposes though! Yeah, I'm strange lol.

I love gmail too! I know there is a way to forward your email that goes to your old email address to your new one - I set it up a long time ago. That way you don't have to have 5 different emails but you are still getting all your mail! Wonder if I can figure out how to do it again...........

Jeez, I have so many emails that I can't keep up with them...

1 hotmail from when I was a teenager, it's mostly junk now

1 hotmail with my new name

1 yahoo with my old name

1 yahoo with my new name

1 gmail (since yesterday!) with my new name

1 hotmail that I created for wedding stuff only

1 work account - I use this for mostly everything

And that's all I can remember for now!

To forward your mail from other e-mail addresses, all you have to do is go to Settings at the top right of your gmail, then click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP. This is where you type in your other e-mail addresses... You can also set up folders from them to be put in directly... So you can have your personal, orders, old, new, work, whatever folders and all your e-mail in one spot... Genius!

Thanks Betsy & Casey!! Very helpful information!!

Great thread! you guys have convinced me to get a gmail account with my soon-to-be last name!
