Thanks, Hirudin. for the great post.  I do agree with what you say.  I guess a lot of us have different ways of using email.  I'm not the kind of person where I have to check mail all the time either.  I'll just check it once a night when I come home from work.  My life is busy enough where I don't have to add constantly checking email to complicate things.  The same goes for contacts for me.  I'm not big on the whole cell phone thing.  Even though I have one, unless it's an emergency, I'll wait until I get home before I make my casual calls.  I have a phone at work if I need to make calls there, and I have my separate work email there also.  They make us use Groupwise, so I can't check my home mail there anyway.  And Groupwise is so restrictive, I don't even have the opportunity to act like a poweruser...I just take what they give.  It's horrible, just so you know.

I hate webmail, I hate the way it feels, it's restrictiveness.  I hate applications that have web-like interfaces.  It is always slower than something written in C++ for a computer.  I like having files and folder and options and all that stuff.  And I have never had a problem with spam because of the way I use my multiple email accounts. 

Anyway, that's what I have to say.  I'm with you Hirudin!

When you *really* use webmail you don't need IMAP!
Your other URL is just paranoia ;)

That's exactly my point: Google Mail is NOT slower! It's faster compared to when you handle your emails on your PC. Been there, done that...

Cranky: do you really believe what they say?
I mean...The firstline they say "Google offers more storage for your email than other Internet service providers that we know about".. LOL
Just check walla.They have been offering bigger mail boxes than gmail even before gmail appeared!!
Honestly,I don't think it's a good idea to go that way, that aready is very well discussed all over.
