I have used Hotmail since I can remember, but I am trying out Gmail. I know it's lame, but I kind of want to get away fro Hotmail because it's Windows :)

Are there others I should know about? Before making the switch...?

I use Hotmail and Gmail. The only other one that I can think of is Yahoo! Mail.

Gmail's the best I've ever used.

Hotmail was...ugh.

Definitely recommend Gmail, has a nice online interface. Better yet you can use IMAP or POP in Evolution/Thunderbird/etc.

Hmmmm Maybe I will look into thunderbird. I had it for a while with Hotmail using Webmail plugin, but I didn't like not having a systray, I am using a dock now though so cool.... thanks for the idea!

Setting Gmail to HTML will make it faster won't it?

My vote would be for Gmail, their web or POP have been very reliable.

Squirrel mail, you will need to set up your own server, but the plugins avalable make it better than the common webmail providers.

Love GMail. I recently integrated Google Calendar, which makes it even more awesome.

I got sick of all the different email accounts and switching between applications/computers, so a web-based mail comes in very handy. :)

gmail by far is unquestionably the best and your only real choice.

Yahoo and Hotmail are in the same bucket (wastebasket).

I hated hotmail so much, I use Gmail now and I have no complaits with it.

I use GMail daily, I even closed my Yahoo! Mail account recently as I got bored of having multiple E-mails.

I still keep a Hotmail account, even though It's basically a .Net Passport account these days.
