In this article, we'll give you an overview of what you can expect from Gmail, as well as what we liked and didn't like about it.

    That's exactly what I am struggling with now - I have a gmail account, and while I do like it, I am still wondering if I should send out the general email to all my contacts, asking them all to update their address books. At the moment I have a work account, which also gets used for personal mail, a home account (from my dial-up provider) and now the gmail account.

    The featureset is good, there's no doubt about that, and I am sure they'll add more later on. It's still in beta after all. But I can't help feeling uneasy about enttrusting all my mail to a hard drive (well, a farm of hard drives) I don't own.
