    I've been using hotmail for years now and I have not gotten one single spam email but I'm thinking about switching over to Gmail, what do you think is better?

    I recently got a email about microsoft launching a new version of windows live could that better than gmail?

    I've tried a couple of the email programs and I personally like gmail. I've had it for a while now and it hasn't failed me yet.

    I use both, but I like gmail better because of the storage and I think its spam filters are better. Also gmail has the chatting system which is useful

    i used both and gmail is the best email so far that I have used, their storage increases everyday and the spam filter is extremely powerful.

    ALWAYS Gmail. Great storage (never have to delete a single message - desptie over 130,000 emails) plus EXCELLENT spam filters.

    Gmail is best til you don't use your email id in social group or any news letter . After that they will eat up your mail box .

    I personally have tried Hotmail, Yahoo mail and Gmail and I found Gmail to be the best in everything, especially in blocking spam emails.

    I haven't used hotmail in many years so I can't really make a fair judgement, but I have a ton of gmail accounts and IMHO its the best free email service out there.

    I've got hotmail and gmail accounts and a mail.com account. I love the mail.com account
    because you can really personalize the email address. Great for signing up where hotmail/gmail email addresses are considered too spammy.

    Sometime I receive SPAMs in Gmail, but never in Hotmail. Hotmail is great for me. I don't like gmail interface :(
