Just get a better password/virus protection?

It wasn't gmail that was hacked, you were infected and your password was stolen.

Gmail is no less secure than other email providers, if your account was compromised then I'd be looking at your computer, or computers you have used to log into your gmail as the source.

GMail really is one of [if not the] best webmail options there is.

Don't push your failures onto GMail.

I personally use inbox.com - mainly because of the advanced spam filtering, pop3 / imap access and 5gb of free space. There's only one niggle I have and that's if I download all the e-mail off the server it still stays on there - this is a feature though and, in all honesty, has saved me a lot of hassle when I've forgotten to take some files to work, etc.

If gmail didn't exist, I'd be using GMX.

Why would it be a niggle? I would expect most people would prefer not having just one copy of each email, which could be spread over different clients!

GMail even lets POP3 leave stuff in your inbox! Handy for anyone forced to use POP3 for whatever reason.

Yeah as I said it's saed me a lot of hassle - the niggle is that it's not an option. It's only a minor, minor niggle.
