"What is Gmail?
As part of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, we're testing an email service called Gmail.
Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of storage. The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly finds any message an account owner has ever sent or received. That means there's no need to file messages in order to find them again.
When Gmail displays an email, it automatically shows all the replies to that email as well, so users can view a message in the context of a conversation. There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, which places relevant text ads and links to related web pages adjacent to email messages. "
"We're currently only offering Gmail as part of a preview release and limited test. We don't have details on when Gmail will be made more widely available, as that depends in part on the results of the test. "

It's still in beta, but i've been using it for months now, and it's without a doubt, in my view, the best web mail at the moment. Like I said, it's still in beta, but it's working fine. Because of this, you cant just sign up randomly, instead, it's invite only.
So, if you would like to give it a try, PM me with your current address, and i'll give you an invite. I've got 50.
