www.gmail.comGMail is an e-mail offered by Google. Still in beta, that's why you need an invitation.
They were the first, AFAIK, to offer 1 GB space for free - and that is the part which many find tempting. Also, they claim to have great search tools, to search amongst your e-mails.
I think you can access through POP3, too.
The interesting part is that after they started offering 1 GB - although still in Beta! - Yahoo! increased their offer from 4 or 6 MB to 250, HotMail promised 250 (instead of 2) - so far, this is a promise only, at least for some users, and GMX (the one I use, from Germany), from 20 MB to 1 GB.
Since GMX offers both POP3 and WWW access, you can probably understand why I am not very interested to get yet another address.
