Classy 419s get in, even when I've spammed the Report Spam button a thousand times. When you get back home from a short vacation, check your email eagerly to see what those 49 emails were about (Did I get dugg?) and find that find that only 4 emails are for you and the rest are crap, you need something nearby to throw at someone nearby. But, even Akismet has been letting in a bit of spam of late. Maybe, the spammers discovered a new trick or something? Maybe, something to do with text encodings? Oh, and thanks for the link to the WWD: I was trying to use a - instead of a +, and was wondering why it wasn't working.... :) As someone who’s never used Outlook before, coming to GMail from Yahoo mail, I too have been disappointed with the spam filtering of late.

Conversation threading, labels and search are killer productivity features in Gmail, IMHO, and I don't really want to experiment. I don't have a date on Zoho Mail, it won't be very long, but so far it has onlye been a "product", now they need to create the mail service as well, and they want it rock-solid. Gmail can afford outages, Zoho can't ... so the'd rather take the time upfront to create reliable infrastructure ..etc. But I also expect functional improvements, too :-) Before Gmail arrived I did not really like webmail – I POP-ed even my Yahoo account.

Have you tried any other web based email? (inbox.com, laszlomail, goowy, etc...). Do you know when zoho will have it's email on public beta? I switched from Outlook to Gmail a few months ago.
