Definitely Hotmail for me. I have a gMail account and I cannot stand it. The interface is ugly and messages are annoying to try and display. Even with a dialup connection you can still view Windows Live™ Mail without to much of a fuss. I think it still has Classic View Support, you could also try getting the Windows Live™ Mail software, which gives you a hotmail desktop client.

You can change the looks of Gmail on their site. I'm not sure how customized you can make it though.

Honestly, regardless as to what email service you're using, I would highly suggest using a pop3 program anyways. Then you don't even have to look at the "ugly interface."

What is better?Gmail Or Hotmail

Gmail.

I have been a hotmail user for 8 years. That was the time of myspace and msn. Those days are gone and I needed a sophisicated email with pop3 and imap. Also I needed to change my name to something more approiate for my age. When I went with hotmail I thought nothing about it. It was the first email I had. Then I realized that its features arent so great, and there can be more added, Also the ads are annoying.

Unfortunately fear switching makes customers worried about switching service. People are scared of friends changing their email address, contacts, email messages, and the adaptability to switch. With gmail it is so much better!. They have made a new service that it will reveive your old email adderss into gmail! So right now I am recieving my old emails from hotmail and at the same time I am recieving gmail from 1 account. Gmail also has great features like chat, advanced spam filter, label (which is good for combining your hotmail to gmail), easy contact import, great user interface, themes are very nice, and something called labs (where it gives extra features that grow).

I am very satisfied with gmail. My favorite feature is that the school cant block it because it runs google servers (which is the most important site in my school). So if you are a hotmail user, switch, you will not regret it.
