I'm not entirely proud about it, but I do have Yahoo set as my portal with autologin from my laptop (my only hardware allowed to have MS installed on it).
A yahoo account is rather useful to me now, as it can accept incoming mail forwarded, as well as outgoing forwards. I've just finished school and though I used to have a server and get email at my own domain... I don't anymore. All my parents have is a lame ol' AOL account. Talk about deprived!! (dsl not avail). Anyway, I use the myYahoo page, since I can display my newest messages, some dumb movie listings, the latest on Osama, and my Yahoo! online dating responses (all them girls at yahoo suck anyway, btw) but it's moderately useful. Yahoo can also zap my cellphone when I have new mail with filters... although it's not 100% reliable.
Once I'm on my own again sure I'll have my linux box do the mailin' and alertin' and all... maybe I can even make the mailer forward urgents to my cellphone. but how practical is that for even *most* people that consider themselves experts??
a smart expert might just do what's convenient if he's in a hurry
