Not sure where to post for opinions, so trying here..

Looking to host my email server with either Gmail or MSN live.
Anyone who uses either, and has found irritating problems with them?
(Not looking for email services, but someone to host my custom domain email services.)

I've used gmail quite extensively, but currently pondering if I've missed out anything with MSN live's email implementation.

Currently, I think I miss out from gmail:
a) Ability to create folders
b) Integration to Windows 7 (ala live messenger, etc.)
c) Google lets you log in via custom domain, Microsoft makes u use mail.live.com

Are there more things for me to weigh, gmail vs msn live/hotmail?
Any pain points for you guys using either service?
Is there any other free domain email services I shld consider?

nvm. i found out msn live addes advertisements to your email, which immediately puts it out of consideration.
thanks for viewing.

you can also create a msn passport account for your gmail or something which allows you to use live msger..
