• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

I use gmail for my main email account, and I use hotmail for anything that's bound to get a lot of spam/junk mail along with it. I prefer gmail because I like the thread/conversation system of organizing, the labels are easy to use, and it has a great search feature. Also, gmail has added a ton of additional features, such as pop3 access, forwarding, etc. so it's really easy to manage it from pretty much any client, if you like to use things other than web access to read mail.

Well, they're both webmail, which means they both suck. However, Gmail only sucks a little bit so I use it when I need to give an email to someone who'd liable to wind up spamming me or selling me to someone who will spam me. Hotmail sucks all the way.

I use GMail solely now, used to use hotmail for msn, but if you go to www.passport.net you can register your GMail account for use with MSN.

gmail has more memory, way simpler interface, and you get to search your mail with google. plus google is cool. and you can still use msn with a gmail, you just have to sign your email up for a net passport.

I have both and like Gmail much, much better. it organizes e-mails nicely & is uber searchable, as you would expect from Google. The spam filter is good - although sometimes it thinks stuff I've signed up t get is spam. My Hotmail account is a spam magnet. By the time I got done buying all the cialis and viagra i was offered in those e-mails, I should've been broke. But, I've got a boatload of free laptops and iPods coming, and this Nigerian lawyer guy is totally gonna hook me up...

Also, Gmail just went to 2+GB of storage!
