The recent gmail thread gave me this idea. It seems to be pretty popular so..

Yes, but its just going to be the mother of all spam accounts. I don't like webmail.

I'm waiting for Rfairney to email me the invite... but I still won't be using it for real email. That's what my yahoo account is for.

Actually, I've yet to get any spam in my gmail box, so either gmail is crazy awesome at covering my ass, or I just haven't put the addy out enough, either way, it's definitely fast approaching Main E-mail status.

Also, I love calling it the E-MAIL OF THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111222223338

Yes, i have one and yes I like it a lot.
I especially like how the spam folder says:

Why would I want one? My Hotmail account works fine, and gets almost no spam. I COULD do with the extra space for E-mails while wandering, but my USB pen works fine for that.

I had been using a hotmail account for years, but IMO hotmail has deteriorated hugely, I get vast amounts of spam and virus emails, the 2 meg limit is sweet fa for me and and their website is sluggish, bloated and isn't entirely non IE friendly.
Gmail is slick, compact, fast, and I have 1 gig of space.
Teh Win, essentially.

As far as spam goes, I set my old e-mail to automatically forward to my gmail account and I've yet to see any spam in my inbox (yes, I WAS getting spam before). It has a really good spam filter, and I periodiaclly check the spam section to see if theres anything that shouldn't be there. Overall, it's better thant he Outlook Web Access I was forced to use before.
