First of all, people have various issues with gmail. I personally long ago gave up any illusion of privacy, so I don't particularly care, but you might.

I love gmail; it's a very different interface from, say, yahoo mail or even traditional elm-pine-y sort of mail systems. it threads messages into "conversations," as a message board would. it's just (IMO) insanely well-designed, and it's a real pleasure for me to see someone actually acting on user interface design theories. small thing that I love: messages are not only dated, but labelled by how long ago you got them. Duh. Do people mostly think "I got that message on the 12th?" no, they got something last week, or yesterday. love that.

for me, the best thing about it, though, is the search capacity. you can attach extra keywords to search by (sort of like saved searches). All of my correspondance about hotels for this trip is all labelled "England trip." When I wanted to pull up Liz's emails I just searched for "triskellian" and it spit them all out. very, very handy.

in sum: it's well-designed, it's a huge amount of storage (for email), it's free, i'm happy. ymmv.
