hotmail accounts VS gmail? which are more accepted online???

15 years ago

From what I can remember when I had Hotmail, cases of this were rare. However, they were more frequent that with Gmail, which is by far my preference after trying it out.

I also use Dreamhost for web hosting. They give you the option to use Gmail Apps to manage your site email and allow you to open up to 50 free accounts.

I find the interface simple and never have problems having tried Hotmail, Yahoo, Aol etc in the past, Gmail is by far my favourite.

Thanks

I also prefer Gmail.
You can also create and share documents, spreadsheets, etc. in Gmail.

I outsource to the Philippines and also require them to have a Gmail account to share documents with them.

Thanks

I use hotmail quite a bit (had it before gmail) and only on rare occasions has it been declined and I believe those places don't take any free hosted e-mails.

But I agree, Gmail does seem to be the better service.

I have found Gmail better between the two, so I prefer Gmail. However, there are some sites that do not accept Gmail as well.

Thanks

Gmail all the way! Tons of great features, massive storage space, and less "saturated" than hotmail. (More free names to choose from) Also, gmail is in general more accepted than hotmail, and seems more professional.

Gmail. Advantage of Gmail is using your Gmail ID for all the various Google apps.

I have a number of free webmail accounts.

I did have a HotMail account, but stopped using it some time ago.

Gmail is certainly the big boy on the block at the moment. It's spam filters and features are second to none and there are other peripheral benefits as already mentioned.

It is different to all other webmail accounts and it takes a bit of time to get used to it's way of working. Over all though, you should have at least one gmail account (even if it's just to try it).

Not many programs/websites will object to you using a gmail account, but if they do, just use Big Mike's suggestion above and run it through one of your domains which then forwards messages to your Gmail account.

Regards,
Jeff Henshaw.

Gmail gets my vote. It deals with spam brilliantly. Its more robust and functional, and very user friendly.

Gmail is definitely better then hotmail. It has tons of features. And, its also very fast. The best thing i like about Gmail is its ability to archive the complete conversation that takes place...

Hi, I don't want to change the direction of this thread (too much) - but am wondering if anyone knows where to find the script (I assume it is a script) that would allow me to block certain domains (like free emails, or just certain ones) from registering on web forms? I think this could be pretty helpful in certain cases.

Also, to answer the original question: Im not sure why, exactly, but I feel that gmail addresses are somehow more legit than hotmail and yahoo. When I see someone register at one of my sites with a hotmail address, I just automatically assume someone is using a throw-away email. I also assume that my follow up email (and I use only double opt in for everything I do) have a better chance of not making it to a hotmail address. That said, I use gmails for all my throw aways, so I am not really sure why I have this belief.
