And is Outlook.com going to change your email habits?
I'm pretty much soley Thunderbird IMAP for my 4 main accounts (mix of work and personal). Never touched Gmail and haven't used Hotmail for many years but Outlook.com has definitely piqued my interest! If they go down this route with the latest Outlook client I may have to buy back into Office...
Thunderbird here too - but still on POP3. Have a gmail account too (phone uses that mostly..)
Exchange at work, Gmail (online viewing) for personal.
Work - Outlook
Spam mail - Hotmail
Gmail website on macbook, standard email client on iphone.
I mainly use Gmail and I prefer to read my mail in a browser, although sometimes I use Thunderbird.
Also if I'm not at home I occasionally read mail on my smartphone.
Thunderbird for work
and webmail/phone app for personal.
I use Yahoo mail, Hotmail and Gmail. I was once a Hotmail fan but went over to Gmail for their features like Google docs and Google reader. i also like the built in Google voice with text and chat function. I only started looking at outlook and have no opinion yet. I hate software clients and dont use a phone for my email.
Hotmail is my main one, with gmail secondary to it! :)
I prefer outlook on my desktop as my main email archive but mainly use gmail/yahoo mail for everyday stuff and my smartphone for browsing emails (my gmail copies my pop3 domain mail)
Outlook on my desktop for both ISP mail, gmail and my own mailserver. Laptop/Mobile setup for imap to ISP and my own server.
Spam mail - Hotmail using live mail
Personal- Gmail throught phone and live mail application
Thunderbird and ISP based POP3 email accounts... does everything we need...
Got a gmail account just because bought an Android Tablet and had to register with Google Play (sounds like a sex lube brand!)... Never used it for email though and probably never will...
use the bethere web mail .. get it anywhere .. nuff said ..
I've migrated from Yahoo to Gmail in the past year and now that Microsoft have improved their mail significantly with Outlook.com it is tempting, if nothing else I am happy to be able to migrate my old hotmail account to a new outlook.com address.
I laughed at friends with multiple email addresses but now I am the same if not worse; a good pruning is in order.
Started with hotmail, but it is now sitting there with 5 or 6 thousand unread spam emails (Facebook notifications and forum thread subscriptions etc) and my main email is with yahoo mail.
Exchange 2003 server in the airing cupboard. Mac mail on the desktop, native iPhone and iPad on the road, Outlook Web Access on Windows PCs. Hotmail address for testing and any registrations I think will produce spam. Miss the calendering and contacts in Outlook/Entourage but unprepared to jump through the Microsoft version compatibility hoops.
Gmail, as that works across browser, tablet and phone. And it's good at protecting me from harmless and harmful spam. After I ditched live mail for my personal email I haven't looked back.
I use both Gmail and T'bird for my emailing needs.
Thunderbird all the way. set to collect from all my online email accounts.
Desktop Outlook and my own email domain.
Outlook on my PC but i rarely use it as my emails come to my phone and i end up checking them on there instead. Will use outlook to send an email though.
Going a day without Outlook and IMAP gives me withdrawal symptoms.
HTTP or POP3!
On a side note, my friend uses on of those ye olde Amstrad Emailer things that could send emails by phone! LOOOL

I have my mail forwarded to gmail, and I read that using Thunderbird on my desktop, the gmail app on my phone and the web interface elsewhere. I still have some other mail services, and my mvps.org and Yahoo addresses are used for some things (but so little that I tend to forget about them).
I have Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail email accounts, but my main one is my Hotmail account, so I'll be very annoyed if I get forced over to an Outlook email address at some point in the future, as alot of stuff would need to be changed. I browse only through Firefox. Hate the Outlook desktop application. I've always considered Outlook an easy way in for viruses tbh. Forced to use Outlook at work though.
OSX Mail does the job for me along with Mail on the iPad and Android's built in app on my phone. I use IMAP to keep track of all eleven of my email accounts - mostly business with a couple of personal ones! Although I have a Gmail account, I've never used the web interface and never intend to.
Outlook 2010 (I get office cheap from work). Also Gmail. Largely ignore Hotmail.
Do you find Gmail to be a bit... aggressive with it's spam filtering? I use both Gmail and Live mail and Gmail seems to catch all of the spam, but at the expense of legit emails (I've noticed the majority of 'spam' isn't, meaning I have to check my spam folder regularly). On the other hand, my Live Mail account catches most of the spam and nothing of the rest. I prefer the occasional 'herbal viagra' email to having to manually verify spam mail a few times a week.Quote:

Thunderbird and Evolution to my own Imap server and one commercial mailbox. Commercial mailbox uses horde, but I very rarely use a web interface as I get mail on the move through a smartphone.
Never used hotmail much, partly through lack of requirement and the microsoft live stuff. I avoid gmail for similar reasons.
iPhone for GMail and Work over Activesync
Main PC Chrome for Gmail and OWA, also have Win8 Metro mail setup for Gmail but its not brilliant
Gmail - For all personal email. Use it on my phone, home desktop, laptop and work PC. I do use it behind a personal domain so I can switch when I want (Not that I think I will any time soon as gmail is so good).
Have to use outlook 2007 at work for work emails which makes me want to cry...
Same here. I've used the same domain for over 10 years and have redirected it to many services, but so far gmail is the best.Quote:

Got Gmail for my android and google wallet and some other stuff :)
Work - desktop outlook
Personal - gmail (mobile and desktop)
Personal Junk - hotmail (outlook!)
Personal (friends/family) - Gmail
Personal (everything non-friends or family) - Yahoo mail
Work - whatever desktop client they give me
Main account - Thunderbird (on two different PCs - I love IMAP!)
Hotmail account - slurped into Thunderbird (again on two PC's) with another access from the Android Hotmail apps (which I think is actually better than Google's GMail app)
GMail account - downloaded onto phone or tablet's GMail app and dealt with from there.
I'm too disorganised to use web based email clients, and the times that I have used them it's only because I've not had access to Thunderbird. I particularly like the rules and filters that T'Bird gives me and really miss those when I fall back to the web based alternatives.
Work's email is into Outlook (no choice in the matter) which I'm not a big fan of - it's too big and clunky compared to Thunderbird for me (but that's personal preference and I fully acknowledge that ymmv).
Gmail as my main, Hotmail for junk etc...
However, I just signed into outlook.com with my hotmail email and it automatically cleared all the junk, and it looks swish...I might reconsider...
Use Exchange at work with outlook 2010
Use outlook 2010 at home too (POP3) to collect mail from a hosted mail provider as I have my own domain.
Couple of yahoo and hotmail accounts for forum registrations and stuff like that.
i use only gmail.
