7. It really is pretty cool, I just signed up for one a couple weeks ago.
It's far different from any other web-based e-mail I've ever used or seen. You don't have to delete any messages, every single one is archived and can be relocated through a typical search feature.

Plus, as far as actual e-mailing goes, they are featured in a conversation format. So messages that are replied to, and then replied back to, and so on, are not separated by individual links, but are tabbed sort of like pages stacked on top of another, so you can click back and forth to earlier replies or "conversations", or, the whole conversation can be viewed all at once. Sort of hard to explain in words, I guess.

It seems the advantage would be for faster use, since you don't have to wait for separate pages to load for each individual message, it's all there on the same page. This would be nice for those with slower internet connections I would think.

Also, correspondence between you and another can be labeled, kind of like a folder, so you can click a person's name, and all your "conversations" can be found, each separated by particular conversations, i.e. replies and re-replies to an original message.

It takes some getting used to because it's so different, but everyone who uses it for awhile swear by it, and probably would never want to go back to any other e-mail program.
