Email

Hotmail enabled pop not so far ago, it was disabled for a long time. Forwarding to non-hotmail address is not possible.
Yahoo allows you to enable pop and forwarding for $20 per year.
Gmail allows you everything for free. Except the thing the world is scared by recent Eric Schmidt's words on privacy (If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.).
In addition the first two have banners as opposed to gmail's context text adds. Let's see what would be when gmail reaches the market share of the first two.
August09's statistics on email services market share is yahoo 106 mln, hotmail 47 mln and gmail 37 mln.

p.s. Tut.by had switched to gmail. But it has banners on top in addition to context adds. Yandex mail seems to have no adds, but still it sucks.
