I've just moved from using Hushmail as my baiting account to using Google mail.
I feel like I've moved into a mansion.
Hushmail felt alll crampt with limited space. The 3-week time restriction didn't help either.
Gmail's good. It feels like I can finally stretch my legs out. I especially like how messages of the same subject are merged as one big message.
My only quibble with Gmail is:
A) I wish I could sent batch mail to more than 100 lads at a time (though, compared to Hushmails 15, it's still pretty great)
B) I wish you could merge messages of different subjects, just to keep the inbox that much cleaner.
How would you compare these two clients? If I'm honest, I struggle to see where Hushmail is more benificial over Gmail.

You can't be accused of being a Gmail Joker if you use Hushmail. Laughing

I very rarely bait out of a Gmail labeled account. I use the Fanmail.com free forwarding service. For straight baits, I use Aggies.com; for freight I use Dores.com; for church baits I use Deacons.com all going to Gmail. I do use EML.CC which is an option on Fastmail. It sucks as bad as Hushmail but my church has the same initials so every fourth email is a trophy or a whine. Its worth putting up with.

Edit- spelling

Ah, I haven't been accused as a Joker yet. Is it really that common - because I know lads use Gmail too.
I would forward emails to avoid being accused, but I'm kind of lazy Smile

I use Hush mail if I'm introducing a 3rd or 4th character to my lad, as too many Gmail emails looks suspicious Wink

How big is the 'Gmail Joker' reputation now?
Would you say something like 1 in 4 lads believe in it? Or is that too low?

You can use labels to put odd emails together under 1 tag. Find it very handy when the lad decides to use different characters.

In only takes a few minutes to initially sent up the mail forwarding. You set up the account and then click on the message sent to verify that you really own the account within the Gmail control.

It makes dealing with scammers so much easier. You can pretend to be multiple characters out of the same box and keep all the emails together.

So if I set up say a Yahoo account, I could send and receive from Google alone?
I wouldn't have to keep visiting Yahoo?

Edit: Did as you suggested - great idea!
Much easier now.

From what I have heard, residents of special countries can. I tried it from the USA and could not make it happen. Crying or Very sad
