Like the 85% of Canada behind the fella in the OP. Yah, real good job on that West....
Anyways this is totally off topic. My bad. I don't use the outlook program on my computer because I initially had some issues with it. Then I forgot my password...Not that I used the address anyways.

No, kludgy and slow has to do with the convoluted way you have to manipulate all of this. It takes several steps and hunting around the computer to find and move the files and mailboxes.
Why don't you grow up. You're pathetic. You don't even understand what you're talking about.
It's a bloated piece of mess. I use it at work daily, it uses about 100mb of ram sitting idle... then you also have the security holes...
The whole "unlimited space" on a webmail account is a joke for the most part. I would bet that 99% of webmail users have less the 50mb of data stored on their accounts.
i don't think so. Believe me, u'd be surprised how many people use these web based emails such as gmail for storage. As for hotmail, i think you could be right. But gmail and other larger email clients, probably have users who use up to the 500mb or more. I know i'm using a gig of my space on my gmail account, and its basically just backed up docs (the very important one) from my cmoputer just incase of a crash.
The thing is though, you may have unlimited storage space, but to use it as a storage device requires you to have a hefty upload speed on your internet connection. Average high speed connections have an upload of anywhere from 300-800kbs, uploading any large files is going to take forever and a day.
I have never had trouble with Outlook, works very well for me, flawless in fact.
I think its just the general anti-Microsoft feel from a lot of people. Anything Microsoft is bad... mind you they created the most successful software suite ever... Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook.

I think gmail is probably the best online email service presently available. The other big ones, like Hotmail and Yahoo!, are pretty good too, but many people complain about their Hotmail accounts being shut down for not logging in at least once per month.
Otherwise, there are thousands of other email services available that may appeal to people who want a particular theme. For example, people might want a Canadian-themed email service, so they might like one from canada.com. Or aerospace enthusiasts might like an aerospace-themed email address, so they might like rocketscientists.ca (Canadian too, actually).
Myself, I have about fifty email accounts with several different services, so I have gotten a pretty good feel for many of them. I use a different one for each e-newsletter or forum to which I subscribe. That way, if I start receiving a lot of spam at one of the addresses, it is easy to narrow down who is spamming me or who sold my address to a spammer.
On a related note, I recently came across a list of twenty temporary and disposable e-mail services for avoiding spam:
