I have GMail for professional stuff, but I hate it. I actually prefer Hotmail for 99 percent of what I do, and until 3 months ago, I'd never (in the 13 years I've used it) had a problem with it. I think some of the new features to make it more like GMail are part of the problem. If I can't get this resolved, I'll make the permanent switch, but this is the one account where people I've lost touch with might be able to find me.
