Gmail B O.K. Mail
I got me a gmail account over the summer and I've been checkin it out. I like it so far. At first it didn't work with Safari, and that was a bummer, but supposedly they got those issues fixed (However I haven't had a chance to test it becasue I am now functionally Mac-less, as you can see in a separate post). I like the fact that you can display things in conversation view, but I haven't really gotten any use out of it yet. By far the coolest feature is the large send and receive capacities - around 10mb per email. I find that really helpful with transferring articles from electronic journals (which average 3-4mb and are larger than my school email can handle) and data files. It's also great that I can again have a reliable non-spammed email address without having to add '4583623620' to the end of whatever email address I am trying to register. My 'typical' email address for that type of thing is rather unique so with my first one I had no problem with the address already being taken. I now have a few more invitations so I am anxious to see if I still don't have any problems.
