i prefer gmail coz it's what i have an account with. i like it cot it has chat feature. i have not tried opening an account with hotmail. i'm gonna try it next time.
As of now I am using gmail mostly. I haven't tried hotmail yet. So far I am content with the way it's been going although I am considering to try that for other use. Actually you gave me the idea, I haven't thought of it for a while.
I prefer gmail and don't even have a hotmail account, i think gmail is fast, easy to use and gives me enough of storage. So I don't bother to use other mail services other than gmail.
I choose gmail because it is very easy to use and fast. and i can store lots of emails, and there is a priority inbox so you can see the important emails
