I have to say I'm rather let down. It is a pain to delete mail, create
contacts, and sort mail into folders. Its incredibly slow at times and
often times out. They use some funky DHTML to power the whole thing which
completely disables certain normal HTML functionality (such as right-click
-> open in new window).

I do however love the search feature, the auto-populate-email-address
feature (guesses the email after a few letters), and of course the storage
space.
