Gmail
My good friend Mr. Hanna comments on Gmail, Google's new email service that's currently in beta.
Having previewed the thing (courtesy of Mr. Hanna), I have to agree with him that it's pretty slick.
Nice of Yahoo to boost the functionality of the free email service I'm using with them, of course, and the ability to check pop email accounts is a feature I wish Gmail would add (and it would make sense for them to do so, since it would allow them to serve up more, relevant ads).
But Gmail really appeals to me.
(Update) I should point out that Mr. Hanna actually provided me a link to set up an account, so I'm no longer trolling for someone to do so. But thanks to Rafe for his offer as well. :)

I've been trying it out for a while, and my main hindrance to using it is lack of ability to import and export mail. I had a couple other soncerns, like:

Mainly, the import / export and the inability to spoof mail from your own domains (ianvarley.com, etc) are the only showstoppers. IMO.

There is a feature now where you can choose a different "reply-to" address. Beware though, email coming from a different server than the domain in the reply-to is flagged by a lot of antispam software. Other than that, remember it's beta.
