I think part of my problem is that I am not used to using either platform. One problem I have with AOL is it kicks me out of the email I am typing, since I have some sight I can get back to where I am without too many problems, but it is a pain. With Gmail I have problems with attachments, I can seem to attach 1 thin, but not multiple. My real reason however with using Outlook is that I have 4 email addresses and with Outlook I can have them all come into 1 inbox. Do you know can I do that with Gmail? Maybe I will go and Google it. Thanks for replying.

Gmail seems so easy for me, I use it online and store no Email on any machine and have all my folders etc just like one might have in Outlook. The benefits I've found are these: 1. Nothing ever lost in a computer crash or change. 2. No lack of continuity if and when internet services change. 3. Access to all my material whereever I am and from whatever machine I choose. 4. Darn near infinite storage. 5. An easy interface with fast delivery and easy retrieval. I used to use Hotmail and, in fact, still have a Hotmail address that I've forwarded to my Gmail account. I used Outlook for a few years with a couple of employers and thought it was a bit bloated and not particularly intuitive so, for my personal stuff I've just stayed on Gmail online. I'd love to see more opinions and discussion on this thread; I've set my wife up with a Gmail account and she uses it across two platforms Apple IPhone and her NetBook. I've used Gmail from Windows '98 thru Windows 10 quite seamlessly. I have, however, given up worrying about privacy and tracking because I feel that it is inevitable in this day and age; if I want private I'll encrypt things.
