Except that hotmail is set up to permit downloading messages to outlook/outlook express/entourage. gmail is not, yet. Besides, the web interface with ads probably means no pop access, which would allow you to circumvent the ads. Same reason yahoo now charges for pop access.
Well, by that token, Yahoo *used* to charge for 100MB mailboxes. Also, I don't see any ads yet in my Gmail box.
No one but Google knows if they will offer POP or IMAP support, paid or free. Also, I don't see any ads yet in my Gmail box....Just wait until they officially launch Gmail.
Im really confrontational today
