Do you use gmail or yahoo or live? I'm trying to find a good primary email to use with my iPhone 4. And do you use the mail app that came with your iPhone?
 
I use my @mac.com address for most things
And I have a Gmail address for personal use
Also have my work email forwarded to a separate Gmail address

On the phone, I use the Gmail app for Gmail and the Mail app for @mac.com

Never used Yahoo at all
 
I've been an a @mac user since apple first unveiled it as part of the iTools suite of services.

I also have a gmail account that I never use, a hotmail account that is dormant and a couple of domain names with emails associated to them for non primary needs.

I use Gmail; have been since it was beta invite only in 2005. I used the native mail app the whole time until Gmail's iOS app finally got Push Notifications. Now that's my main email app.
 
I use AOL as my secondary account just because you get two addresses (@aim.com and @aol.com) and because you get an AIM account with it, which is the best popular messaging system. Also, I think the @aol.com address looks nice.

I also use GMAIL as a tertiary account since I have a YouTube account.

Avoid Yahoo or Microsoft.
 
I use the same hotmail address that I've had for the past 12 years and I use the standard mail app which works really well for me.
 
Gmail for personal & Gmail for work (university) both via iOS Mail b/c Gmail app doesn't permit multiple accounts/switching.
 
Gmail as my primary, I also have a yahoo and a work email on there...I'm not a fan of the iPhones email app at all though...
 
Yahoo is primary
GMail is a secondary that ive been using more & more and yes i use the phone email app for Yahoo.

Oh wait, i dont use an iPhone so sorry if you were taking thoughts just on those only.
 
Native mail app with Gmail for personal mail, work account (work server) & trying out a Outlook.com account.
 
My personal email is hosted by fasthosts, with my domain. Works great.
Also have used iCloud and Yahoo in the past, no problems at all. I used the built in Mail app.
