Just something in relation to gMail. All emails sent to and from a
gMail account are permanently kept on Google's hard drives for their
own purposes, whatever they may be. For this reason I won't get a
gMail account or send any email to a gMail account. As a result of
this permanent record it is reasonable to assume that at a later date
hackers may find it an attractive source of email addresses for spam.

On the plus side, it makes your mail easily searchable, and you get to
see advertising that's better targeted.
Have fun,

It is also good as a "Public" email addy for things like online forums
where you want to get a message from someone offline and not worry about
the spam bots picking up the address as gmail has a great spam filter :)
