google 1 - 123reg- 0
£12 a year for something offering less features and smaller mailbox
google 2 - 123reg - 0
Next on the list:
integrated documents
integrated calender
forced SSL login
instant messaging system
These are just the obvious documented advantages, I am sure that the 123-reg webmail will be rubbish and i bet people have problems with emails and large attachments going missing with 123reg...

attachment size
and just found this (surprise surprise!)
and just found this (surprise surprise!)
It took 123-Reg a month recently to correct a problem with their inbound SMTP servers that I reported to them (they were just closing the connection mid stream when sending any attachments over a meg or so). This was after a lot of jumping up and down to try and get them to read what I was saying and pass it to someone with half a brain cell that can look at their e-mail logs. It was quite interesting to see just how many people have their e-mail hosted on the 123-Reg mail servers and so were affected.
The reason that I was poking around the 123-Reg support site the other day was that a DNS record had gone missing on a client's zone. Phoned 123-Reg up and when they eventually answered, they reported that it was a "known problem" (nothing on the status pages or an announcement on the phone lines) that had been going on since roughly 9AM (this was last Friday). After a bit of investigating, it looks like it started happening 2 days earlier than 123-Reg think and I phoned them back today for an update only to be told that they are still "working" on it...

So far google wins in space (just one of my mailboxes is using 2200mb of the 7600mb available for that login)

If you need more than 1Gb mail space for one address then you're not managing your mail box properly.
To put this in context, a previous organisation I worked at had 200 employees all with outlook using exchange. The total size of the exchange storage file (.edb) ie everyones mail boxes put togther was <16GB. That's 16GB shared amongst 200 users. It took almost 8 months before we needed to extend that.
The average company mail box size is <500mb some give a maximum of 1Gb. In short you dont need any more than that.
Integrated Documents,great idea but how many of people with Gmail accounts actually use or know how to use these features?
Remember this thread was about Gmail on a phone. Forget all this other crap that enables you to feel good about proving your point . I could bore you rigid with how a properly set up Exchange infrastructure would crap on anything that google currently provide but that's not what was being discussed is it?
Gmail didnt on that particular occasion do what my client wanted. I used something else that did and has worked perfectly for six months or so now.
I'll stick to Exchange where I can actually phone my mailbox, listen to emails, compose and delete emails and arrange meetings and appointments in my calander all by voice recognition whilst I'm driving along in my car or out walking the dogs. Stick that in your google pipe and smoke it

500mb for an inbox 
why bother with 500mb and have to change it after 8 months, would you not be better asking microsoft to set them up with the original hotmail accounts that had 2mb they can quickly delete emails as soon as they read them to stop them bouncing and they can learn to manage there email account better
was that email network setup by

Now if you need more than 500MB for an Inbox then you are seriously NOT managing your email. My personal mailbox has mail going back 10 years (not in the Inbox, in a relevant folder) and the total size of my pst file is only about 100MB. Admittedly it would probably be a lot more if it was a work email but even there, 500Mb for an Inbox is just ridiculous.

Using 1638 MB of your 7608 MB
That's a personal account. My work account is larger.
Why shouldn't I keep everything where I can access it from everywhere. The beauty of Gmail is I can leave everything in the inbox should I choose, then just use Search... which Google are pretty good at... to find what I want.

I never get any, a huge benefit of Gmail is world class spam filtering, you'd have to pay for it elsewhere. Honestly I can't remember the last time I saw a Spam email.
