Pros: Tons of storage space, free, more features than hotmail/yahoo
Cons: Attempts to fix things that weren't broken, kluge UI
Summary: I have to give the Google folks credit for thinking outside the box and trying new things. Gmail certainly isn't “just another knock” off the other free email programs out there. They really did try to offer new features and fix the things we ... read more

Pros: nice new interface, heavy javascript gives cool features
Cons: difficult to do 'usual stuff', poor SPAM filters
slow (7s to login), not 100% reliable
Summary: Gmail is nice to have an extra email account to send spam to. The new, javascript intense, interface is neat, but sometimes you just want to perform a simple task, such as Forwarding from the Inbox (instead you have to view the email and scroll down to ... read more

Pros: Threaded mail, over two gigs of space, downloadable notifier, more.
Cons: Jumps to inbox when you trash mail you're reading. Privacy concerns for some.
Summary: Awww heck, let me be fair. Google’s Gmail, still in beta as I type, allows anyone with an account to sign up 50 other accounts. Free. Gratis. At no charge even. It’s sort of like e-mail nepotism; you have to know somebody to get it. But to be honest, ... read more

Cons: Inconsistent user interface, contact management can be improved

Cons: A few features have been met with criticism - see review...
Summary: There are now thirty-three reviews of the Gmail service on the Epinions database, and I do think this serves to emphasize the growing popularity of this email service over less flashy rivals such as Hotmail and Yahoo. Found at ... read more

Pros: Space, easy to email people, invitation only
Cons: still in beta, but other than that nothing

Cons: Still Beta.

Pros: 1000 MB storage space, searching for emails is based on the Google search engine.
Cons: Attachments limited in size to 10MB, Cannot import contacts from AOL at the present time.
Summary: We’ve all got email addresses, most of us more than one, and although the one that is associated with our Internet service provider is almost certainly the main one we use it never hurts to have a back up or two in case of connectivity problems. Up ... read more

Pros: Massive storage, great organizational features, relavent ads.
Cons: Had long period of downtime in beta, but this seems to be worked out.
Summary: Many months ago, my curiosity was piqued by the concept of Gmail. Back in those days, invitations were harder to obtain than an "All Access" pass to Area 51, so I ended up buying one on Ebay. It was only a few dollars, and I made it back selling a couple ... read more
