look at some latvian sites like apollo.lv or inbox.lv and you may have a second thought.
i just tested it, for me the speed up is like 2 seconds on ad heavy site, but you get much smoother and nicer experience.
can ads be any bigger?

yeah lol, they even send spam themselves.

fortunately i have their mail box forwarded to gmail with nice interface and spam filter (which caught all of their promoted ads :L).
at the same time, i'm slowly switching to gmail as a main mail, too.

Is GMail any good?

I like the interface and the service itself, but I'm kinda pissed of at all this "In order to use [insert Google service ] you have to register for [insert other Google service]"-bullshit that is happening with Youtube/Google+ and I don't want to repeat this again.

gmail is pretty much the base of it, so there isn't such issue there, except that i hate to switch accounts each time, as gmail is my secondary.

What about spam detection and advertisment mails?

Right now, I get one mail with a roundup of all mails which were filtered as spam (which is pretty handy cause you don't miss a mail in spamfilter). But I also get 1-2 mails/day from the service itself with (annoying) advertisment.

I use GMX right now, have been using it for nearly 10 years for everything. A switch would be a really big assload of changing mails EVERYWHERE, so I'm still not sure about it...

it has a decent spam filter, a "mute" function to mute spammers,
and 5 auto-configurable (+ more manually configurable) inbox tabs:
  • primary - conversations and important stuff
  • social - facebook and other junk
  • promotions - ebay, companies you subscribed to, etc
  • updates - releases, info from companies, etc
  • forums - emails regarding forums

then you can also star the mail with different "stars" and organize it even more yourself, but i never used that, so i can't explain it accurately.

the spam folder is located in the "more" option of the sidebar, and it auto-deletes 30 day old messages, but i believe that is configurable too.

my move was pretty painless, because i never actually changed my addess, just started using the new one for new accounts.

According to the internet and some russian reporter who said it, on May 9 70 years ago, Russia ran out of vodka because of wild celebrations of the defeat of the Nazis.

I wonder if that's true :L
