I was lucky enough to get myself an invitation for Gmail, and I immediatly fell in love.

It makes normal e-mail seem like a mess.

Gmail sorts e-mails into CONVERSATIONS, rather than single messages. Ever have a big conversation with someone back and forth by hitting the good old "Reply" button? Gmail will automatically keep those messages together in a single thread, so you only have ONE conversation to keep track of/read, rather than 10-20 related emails.

There are NO obtrusive advertisements. Spam is minimal. It's FAST. There are NO taglines in emails you send or recieve.

You get 1000MB of free space which makes the other services just look cheap.

Get an account if you can find someone to invite you!
