Comment 1Gb is not the "golder grail" ... (Score 1) 623
... and Hotmail/Y!/Lycos don't seem to understand that it is not just about the space. I have about 1800 e-mails in my Gmail account right now that take up about 160Mb of space and if it weren't for Gmail's great search capabilities, multiple labels per e-mail message and automatic filtering/sorting I would be a lot of trouble every time I went looking for an e-mail. Instead it is quite easy to locate pretty much anything.
Anyways, if you don't have Gmail yet I suggest you read my poorly articulated collection of thoughts on the matter. I try to emphasize some of the great things (besides 1Gb storage that I don't even mention) about Gmail that make it better than other webmails.
