I started with gmail about 3 months ago ands I think it's great... I still use my hotmail account but not often .... It's easy to use. no spam at all so far and you dont have to delete anything ...ooodles of storage space Meldrew ... and a great filing system that links your conversations together in more than one file if necessary... ie you can cross reference easily .. I think it's great and I used up all my invitations within a week !!
