Please, boycott Google's email service Gmail. Here is why you should do so:
They are considering almost all small email servers as spam, this mean Google users have to look in their spam folder when they receive email from someone considered small. This kills freedom.
On top of that, gmail addresses are the biggest source of spam around nowadays, isn't it sarcastic?
There are a few good email provider around that are free, some other are paid but really cheap. If something is free, you should ask yourself how they make money.
