At least I know that Gmail will always be there when I'm online, and I can search my mailbox and always find what I want.

As for privacy issues, I'll take my chances. I know that when my laptop gets stolen the thieves won't get my email info, something that is more important to me than some random hacker stealing my contact list.

Why would you waste company money on a service that you can get for free? You remind me of one of those jerk-offs who used to say a suit and tie was needed to make it in the business world, otherwise you would look "unprofessional". Who cares how good you are, just look good!</p> First off, webmail is only unprofessional if you think it is. Why would you waste company money on a service that you can get for free?
