I like using email client software like evolution mail and thunderbird but composing messages online is more reliable. I'll take your advice and hang on to Microsoft hotmail because like gmail, they will offer important services for free through their accounts like online office. I will slowly start to kill off my two yahoo accounts and hope that I never need to become part of a yahoo group for uni or work. Maybe I should leave one address for sending resumes and another for all other communication. This is really annoying and not an easy decision. Thanks for the advice. Oh yeah, it's great that gmail lets you send mail as another sender. I can receive and send emails from other accounts without even logging into them.

I have five emails (one Gmail, one Yahoo, one uni address, one address from IEEE, and one address for work). You should try checking them all through your Gmail account, that's what I do. I used to prefer Yahoo (and still think it has a nicer interface) but Gmail is fast and reliable and works well on mobile phones. My uni mail auto-forwards to my Gmail and so does the IEEE (although I never actually use it). Yahoo gives you POP access so it's easy to check it through Gmail (I have gradually stopped using Yahoo altough people still send me mail on that address so it's handy I can check it from Gmail). Also Gmail lets you compose mail from any account (which is good cause uni professors don't normally reply to messages from non-uni emails), and you can also set up multiple inboxes if you wanna keep the messages from different accounts seperate. The only thing is I don't think hotmail makes it easy to import old messages to another account - so you might be stuck there! Luckily I never used it, but have known friends who wanted to switch to google/yahoo and had to leave all their old hotmail messages behind. Know what you mean!
