To add to what Andy said about threading: I've switched
to gmail, somewhat reluctantly, but after using it for a month or so
find it really organized in ways Outlook and other web-based programs
are not.
Besides being able to filter specific items into folders, the
conversations are threaded and look like a single email, with a numeral
to specify how many responses there have been. They're all in
order, and folded up so they take up little space. You can click
on individual responses to maximize them and read the entire thread to
refresh your memory. It's the best I've seen and very nicely
removes spam as well. There's only been one "real" email grabbed
by the spam filter among hundreds (maybe more!) of emails.
Finally, a web-based mail program sidesteps most of the viruses that opportunistically take advantage of the MS Outlook program.
I'd much rather get individual emails and have them specifically stacked in their threads than have them buried in digests.
