I have a couple small businesses on it for nothing other than convenience. I clicked this hoping for a pleasant surprise but instead got an expected reality. No problem, email migration is one of the easiest out there (as long as you aren’t to tangled in their other services) and I find myself using clients more than their web interface anymore so much of the gmail advantage is non-existent.

Was the gmail advantage ever in their web interface? For me it was always their spam handling that set them apart from everyone else.

Compared to hotmail and yahoo mail it was, compared to a desktop client not so much.

It seems they've done such a good job that there isn't much of a spam market anymore, looking in my spam folder (gmail) I'm averaging 1-2 a day and that includes false positives.

On the corporate email using a different filter I only see about 1 spam message get through a year, so they might not even have a competitive advantage there.
