Also a recent update was lampooned pretty hard by my friend. They where advertising better ads as a new amazing feature... Really? Im pretty no one uses gmail to view ads on purpose... How about some rules and filtering options insteads... Priorities are wrong...
Also hotmail has caught up on the spam issue, there isn't a real reason to switch except for ego.
Plus I've found it unreliable with certain ISPs, mail just doesn't arrive. Black holed, never making it to the spam folder, not being bounced back.
So sorry its amatuer mail and I'll let people choose there own life style, but I will not recomend it for work related stuff.
