Who do you use for email?

So, I'm moving from NH, with Comcast as my interweb provider, to Iowa, with some local provider I've never heard of (Corncast?).  I'm thinking of switching to a web-based email account once we lose Comcast.   Any advice?

I've seen a lot of folks moving to Gmail.  Some have Yahoo.
 
What are you folks using for email these days?  I'd like to manage it through Outlook, but also have a decent web-based interface.

Thoughts?  :undecided:

Gmail is near perfect for me, John. I'd avoid yahoo.

Absolutely use Gmail. The spam filters are awesome. They are constantly improving service, lots of functionality and lots of options for personalization.

Yahoo is a dinosaur. And not a cool one.
Babe, let's get one thing clear, there's much more stardust when you're near.

I kinda figured on Gmail, started setting up new accounts, and imported my contacts from Windows Live Mail.  I seem to be missing something, as I can't access contacts when I click "To" while composing a new message.  I also appear to have all kinds of connected accounts (an old msn.com email, my Google calendars, my YouTube account) and it wants me to tie 'em all together.  Very confusing.

Thanks for the input.  Seems Gmail wins!

How can you not go with an email account whose IP name is CORNCAST?!?!?!? That's plain awesome if you ask me. Plus I hear you get a free keyboard if you use their email service.

Homer no function beer well without.

Yahoo is not a dinosaur anymore, and I use it as a backup to my gmail. Gmail has more account security (I use 2-step authentication). Yahoo is trying hard to improve their service under their new CEO. But I'd still say that Gmail is the best bet. You can also get a live account through Microsoft.
