Gmail Makes It Easier to Switch Accounts

Nearly everyone has had or used a number of e-mail services in their lifetime. I am now a staunch defender of Gmail, after four years of watching it evolve. Now, with an attractive theme, cool shortcuts, and the layout just the way I like it, I feel as comfortable with Gmail as I do in my own living room at home.

Now, Google has provided a way for this comfy setting to be home to other e-mail users as well. Now, it is shockingly easy to transfer your contacts from Hotmail, AOL, or Yahoo. The transfer is automatic, and apparently error-free. At least, there are no pandemic reports of failure and destruction. Gmail also allows its users to import contact lists from Outlook, Outlook Express, and the Mac OS X contact manager.

Currently, Gmail does not have the same following that Yahoo, AOL, and Hotmail enjoy. Right now, it boasts a subscription list that is nearly 30 million users long. This number may be changing. Now, as easy as it is to take your contact list and important it in Gmail, the balance of power could swing as defectors take Gmail for a test drive. Besides, Google boasts considerable upside to the user frustrations of AOL and the fee-based approach of Yahoo.
