    December 25, 2012  |   By winstonebook

    Version: Gmail

    Pros

    Good spam filtering, and simple to use.

    Cons

    A little cluttered. Outlook.com can be a little better than this.

    Summary

    BEST EMAIL SERVICE EVER! Just saying that Outlook.com, Microsoft's new service, could be better. Everything google has is great!!!

    "Made life easier"

    November 21, 2008  |   By ardsonneveld

    Version: Gmail

    Pros

    What can I say. Email how it should be. Easily accesable, loads of addons, no ads, space enough for the next century or two.

    Cons

    none. o eehr...yes, there's one: Gmail came few years late, but I forgive them.

    Summary

    Why didn't you sign up for Gmail yesterday? What are you still here doing after all, reading my comments while you are still using Yahoo or Hotmail??

    "My Favorite!"

    October 31, 2008  |   By Xp54321

    Version: Gmail

    Pros

    1.Fast
    2.Chat built in
    3.Labels
    4.Stars
    5.*Massive* amounts of storage space
    6.Google search! This is very important! Google has always been my favorite search engine and is great for searching though your email or chats.

    Cons

    Can be slow in loading with "https". But that's more security, offsets extra load time.
    Can occasionally randomly sign you out of chat, I suspect technical errors, don't worry these incidents are very rare.

    Summary

    Use it! Or even better use another application with it like Gtalk(Google Talk also by Google) if you don't want to open up your browser to chat with your friends. It also works very well with Mozilla Thunderbird and the chat feature can work with AIM! :D Best web-based email service I know of.

    October 27, 2008  |   By Helle533

    Version: Gmail

    Pros

    Many benefits!

    Cons

    NONE as long as I use this product.

    Summary

    "Gmail is terrific."

    October 26, 2008  |   By dmjdws

    Version: Gmail

    Pros

    I wouldn't even know where to begin. Gmail has made emails a lot of fun.

    Cons

    It's difficult to get meaningful help when you have a problem. The help feature mostly offers FAQs which may or may not address the specific problem you are having.

    Summary

    Compared to other email providers which I have tried out, Gmail is by far the best.
