I've seen many articles now that basically ridicule anyone who is still using Yahoo, Hotmail, and Outlook for email.
Anybody know why that is?
Does it really matter or are these techie people who get overly excited about what company handles their email?

Gmail is pretty much better than those in every area,
How so? I use hotmail and I send, receive and archive stuff without any hitches. What does gmail offer that the others don't? I've had the same email address since 1997, I think I'd need a pretty good reason to change. Is there one?
Well outlook has mostly caught up to Gmail so theres no reason to swtich today, but it is telling that you didn't switch over in the 8 years that gmail was so far ahead of Hotmail that they went even in the same league. Pretty much all of those cool features that were added in the switch from Hotmail to Outlook have always been in gmail.
Gmail is pretty much better than those in every area, so someone still using those usually indicates a lesser level of tech savvy. But I wouldn't say that I have seen people ridiculed for having them.
What features? What did I miss? I write mail, I receive mail, I store it and my contacts, and I can sort it. Erm, that's about all I want from an email server. Am I missing something?
It is like a pissing contest on who can make the most technological grill. People will spout led temp displays, times controls etc, for me it is can the darn thing cook a brisket, other options mean nothing to me.

I have my own web and mail server so I handle my own email. Can I look down on people who use other peoples' mail service?

No, it doesn't matter. I don't see how this is even an issue for some people.
That said, it is worthy of curiosity as to why someone would actively choose to use an email service that effectively has no spam filter.
I still check on my yahoo email account out of morbid curiosity every once in a while, and it's just nothing but spam.
It doesn't? That's stupid.
I never used Yahoo before, so I wouldn't know.
