Hotmail...

I hear you. Now in regard to Twitter, I'm very active. Most of my tweets are political, but that's what I'm in to. As for you, weren't you active on another forum that dealt with rooted devices?

Can someone give me a quick summary of the new privacy policy and why it is a problem? Just wondering, I have been using gmail for years as my main email... 2nd question too, does the iCloud service for email have any extra benefit, like better push, more features?

As for your second question, no, it does not. Yet, it does a very good job at syncing all of your devices almost immediately after any changes have been made regardless of what device you were using when the change was made. In my opinion, it's just as good as Google.

I had it set up on my phone, but was a pain because even though i deleted the mail it would re-download to my device moments later.

You have to set the Hotmail account up to delete the mail in both places automatically if you want that. Just login to the online version and go to settings.

I use Windows Live/MSN/Hotmail and am considering making it my primary and dropping Gmail. Even though there isn't a person at google reading the mail I still feel my privacy and the privacy of my contacts is being invaded.

Thanks for that link... I have to say, I didn't read anything that gave me even the slightest hesitation about using gmail.

Hmm seems Gmail is still leading the way with email...

Maybe here but I believe that Hotmail still has many more accounts tied to it as it's been out a lot longer than Gmail.

I for one have accounts on both services which I use.

I use both a hotmail and a gmail account my phone. The are both great.

I used to have gmail as my primary but I'm slowly moving away from it. I use iCloud as my primary now. Hat never used Hotmail.

I have an account but haven't used it in forever. It's Gmail all day, everyday.

Despite changes to its privacy policy, Gmail really has set the bar when it comes to Email, Calendar and Contacts.

Now if only on an iOS device we could get an option to add TWO reminders to Calendar items; that would be great...

Anyway, I digress.

My wife uses hotmail for her primary mail, no matter how much I nag her to get off it and me.com as her secondary ( and business ) email.

I use gmail for my primary & work, and an EDU for my school ( go go graduate school ).

That Oatmeal link is funny!

And, unfortunately, strangely accurate in my circles.

(And most have AOL or Hotmail accounts if that tells you how I get to spend my days.)

What you stated above is a fact, my friend.
