The 'Facebook Mail' link isn't the actual link...

I have many emails. A lot of my email addresses just forward to one so I can view them in a single inbox. I own quite a few domains so I have a lot of "webmaster/admin" emails in case I need to be contacted.

As for public ones, I have a Gmail (ever since launch) and a Facebook email.

I think I will set up my Facebook email tonight. I haven't test drove it yet. I am interested to see how it works compared to other email services.

3	I use Gmail and I don't think I'll switch anytime soon. I actually deleted my facebook (as well as a person can) so it's not even an option. answered Dec 15 '10 at 10:26 Steven Hibbs 4.6k●87●106●156

I think the average user will just say "as long as I can e-mail that's all I need." This is why most people won't be too fussed about what service they use, so long as it's doing what they need it to do.

Personally I use Live mail, have done for a few years now. However I do have Yahoo! Mail account and a Gmail account and use them when I need to. They're all good in there own ways but for me I just prefer Live Mail.

I used to use Windows Live, but i hated it, plus it didn't have IMAP. So i switched to Gmail and haven't looked back. I mean since Facebook has so many users I'm sure their email service, not matter how bad or basic, will be very popular. MySpace did the same thing a year ago, i have a myspace email. I never use it obviously but still.

I use multiple ones as well. I think that comparing Facebook to MySpace is like comparing a Honda to a Bentley. While Facebook has risen in popularity MySpace has dropped. I am curious as to what the future will hold. Everything is moving to social media so I wonder if email will as well.
