loads of room, plus it groups emails together in conversations.

downsides - slow, down quite a lot and a spam magnet.

But an occasional real message ends up in them as well so you have to hunt through them. I went away the week before last and when I came back I had 8 spam emails in hotmail and 197 spam in my gmail account - in one week.

I get no spam at all on either of my Gmail accounts.

Weird.

I get about 8-10 spam messages per day. The filters are great, properly recognize all those haiku-like sequences designed to fool them:

Were you born in a barn? A place in the sun. Sly as a fox. Two peas in a pod. Rare as walking on water. Rise and shine. Spill the beans. The sun will shine into our yard to. Weed 'um and reap. Weed out. What's done is done. The stronger the breeze the stronger the trees. Top of the morning. Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. Root it out. When pigs fly. We'll hand you out to dry. To gild refined gold, to paint the lily. Walking on water. Watch and wait. Tall as a tree. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. Slow as molasses in January. Your barking up the wrong tree. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

But why bother with random sentences when each spam email contains the words "big PR campaign starting on"? ;-)

really? i've got two gmail accounts and rarely get spam, don't find it slow at all (certainly quicker than my hotmail and yahoo account) and i think it's only been down once when i've tried to use it in the last few months. I think it's very good.

Same here, on all counts.

Never had a single problem and I've been using it since about day 3.

Just to clarify is it actull [nick]@gmail.com you lots have or [nick]@googlemail.com?

...@gmail.com emails still go to their respective @googlemail.com account anyway.
