People who have never considered using Web-based e-mail will be tempted by Google's new Gmail.

Traditional free e-mail accounts from Web portals typically offer little space for storing messages and are usually littered with advertisements.

Many savvy computer users exploit these free e-mail services by using them as decoys for spam or as unchecked ghost accounts when they need to supply a verifiable e-mail address to access online communities or forums.

Travelers also find Web-based e-mail useful because they can check their e-mail from any Internet-connected computer with a Web browser, whether they are at a friend's house or at a public terminal. Because Web-based e-mail is stored online, users can access their messages from anywhere as long as the site is up.
