Re: how reliable have you found Gmail
I find the grouping of messages and ability to mark them with labels so you can find them easily a bonus. Plus the forwarding of mail, filtering and display options are all helpful. You can always give it a whirl and if you don't like it then you can close the account.

If his hotmail account is okay for him, why swap?

sounds interesting, but a few people have shown me the filtering doodahs and it doesn't seem to do much useful, for me. not worth the hassle of me switching accounts.

I run both, as I can still read hotmail with pop3 it is convenient, for now, but if that changes I will probably lean further towards Gmail.
- One thing I do wonder about Gmail - if they have a 2GB (and climbing  ) storage capacity for each inbox, do they have that backed up, physically, or is it just a clever RAID thingy???

Re: how reliable have you found Gmail
I use it many times a day & have many accounts giving me over 20gb of storage. although I only actually use a fraction of it.

Doubt if Paul M want's one since he knows where the Gmail invite thread is and has yet to ask for one If he wants one then there are plenty of people to ask, including other team members lol
