[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] Thanks to Yahoo! and Gmail, I now have a total of 3 GB of web email space. Yahoo Mail Plus (which comes with my DSL service) gives you 2 GB of space and no graphic ads. I don't know what I'm gonna do with all of it. Gmail is a friggin GODSEND. Most people only hear about the 1 GB space and the targeted text ads, but after actually using it (I got my account through Blogger), I have no doubt Gmail is the best web email service I've ever used. The conversation system groups together all the replies to an email almost like a forum thread (I'd wished that emails could do this for YEARS). You can make quick replies by clicking an empty textbox below an email, which turns into a reply form without loading another page. Your account auto-refreshes itself as long as you're signed in, so you know when new emails come in. You archive your emails using labels, which essentially works the same way folders do, except you can give a particular email more than one label. And there are keyboard shortcuts. These things might not be completely revolutionary, but they vastly improved my experience of email. For that, Google can target-ad me all they want. Although I've only seen ads in the longer emails I've received, like newsletters. Even my long conversations full of short emails don't get ads. And now Yahoo! users have indirectly benefited from Gmail's existence. Competition is good. [/QB][/QUOTE]
