What's your favorite webmail provider ?

Due to problems with gnutls and md5 signed certificates
(or rather provider being unresponsive about it),
I'm considering moving to a different provider.
Right now, I'm thinking about gmail.
What's your opinion ?

Google mail, indeed. Nice interface, lots of disk space, IMAP access, non intrusive ads, I don't even notice them.

I've been with Mindspring since before Earthlink bought 'em. I even used to get dialup from them before consumer broadband existed. (They let me keep my @mindspring.com email address, which means I've had a stable email address now for over 10 years.) However, they've just added a feature that'll keep me a customer for life: for a mere $1 more per month, I am presented with a web mail interface completely free of advertizing. Cheap at twice the price!

And it's not just the annoyance of seeing the advertizing. Often, the biggest delay in showing the page is because the advertizing servers are overloaded. Since I signed up for ad-free web mail, page loads are typically much faster.
