You can access Hotmail accounts with Outlook, you just need to install the connector

Gmail's been great for me, 2 years with absolutely no problems.

Used to be invite only so if you want one just drop me a PM with your addy.

You wont be able to use your current addy with it though.

It comes with Windows Vista and so far itas been nothing but trouble

Thunderbird with a GMail account.

Add to that the Lightning plugin for Calendar support and a sync provider for Google Calendar and you're laughing.

Mail and calendar available everywhere, not to mention very easy relocation of mail/calendar data to a different hard drive and the ability to reinstall OS without having to backup mail data (other than Thunderbird's config folder).

Sorted!

+3 for gmail

Stopped using an email client over a year ago and just use the web interface. Makes life so much easier.
