I have tried a few other mail services, but finding one I am as happy with as gmail has proven difficult. Not even considering how difficult it can be to communicate your email address verbally to someone. Most people you can just say "at gmail dot com" and they get the rest of it. I haven't had to spell out my email address one letter at a time in quite a while. Not so with some of the other hosts I have tried. The other gotcha for me is google reader. I use it constantly.
