http://live.pirillo.om/ – There are a variety of free e-mail services on the Internet – Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, etc… – but not every service fits the needs and tastes of every person. Kole doesn’t like where the new Yahoo! Mail beta is headed, and has found that Gmail is a suitable alternative; however, since he’s with Yahoo! now, and his contacts are all there, should he switch?

Fortunately e-mail is vendor independent, which means you’re able to switch providers and still receive the same basic service. So, since you can get the same service with an interface that you’re more comfortable with, Chris says you should switch.

Ponzi agrees with Chris in principle: every user is different, and they should go with what they’re more comfortable with, but she also thinks Kole needs to consider the social factor in all of this: you may be leaving a network of people behind who are all tied into the Yahoo! service. If this is the case, then you should consider staying with Yahoo!, if only to keep in touch with your network of people.

Ultimately it boils down to what you’re comfortable with. If you’re more comfortable using Gmail, then start notifying your contacts of the address change and begin the process of merging all of your data over.

What do you think Kole should do?

Gmail scalability issues, perhaps?

Hello, Chris. My name is [BLANK] from [BLANK]. Have you heard of anyone having problems with Gmail recently? Something has happened to my account; I did not change my password but now I cannot login. The Gmail Team told me to wait 5 days and then try to recover my password. I waited the requisite time (without any access whatsoever).

Today, I tried unsuccessfully to recover my password. As a last-ditch effort I chose to have Gmail send an email to my secondary email account. I was then told that an email had been sent to my verizonmail.com secondary account. That wouldn’t be bad — except — I have never ever had a verizonmail.com account.

This makes me wonder — have they deleted my account? Did they give it to someone else? This is so bizarre, it just cannot be normal. Thank you for reading this.

I use Gmail, but only as a secondary account (and to access Google’s growing list of services. I’ve warned people before: no matter what you happen to use, if you get the service for free, expect interruptions. The same holds true for any service provider (Microsoft, Yahoo!, etc.).
