Besides the above features, what I really love about Gmail is the message threading. quite a boon when you are in an active Yahoo group or such. As long as folks hold to the initial thread title, it tidies things up nicely. Make's your inbox look like a message forum. Handy.

Don't sweat the focused advertising. Half the time Gmail can't suss the meaning of gaming related posts, and makes for good laughs.

I find that I only get ads on 1 out of every 7 or 8 emails, and since they are way over on the right side of the page away from the message body, it's really easy to ignore them. For al the other functionality of Gmail, it's worth it.

You can avoid ads altogeher if you POP the mail onto your computer. The nice thing about that is that even though you are still using Outlook or Outlook express, you can set Gmail to not delete that mail from the server. That way, if you ever have a hard drive crash, you can recover your lost email.
