I tried to use their service to do that recently since I do like the GMail interface, but I couldn't create an account. The domain name had apparently already been used with them by a previous owner. There was no obvious way to fix it other than to kick someone else out of their gmail (as far as I could tell -- I'm not sure what exactly would be reset in the process), and no way to contact customer service unless you already had an account. Since I couldn't safely create an account without talking to customer support, and couldn't talk to customer support unless I created an account I was stuck in a catch-22. By that point, I realized that I don't want to deal with yet another god-damned unsupported Google product and made other arrangements. Hell, I would have been willing to pay $5/mo at the time too -- it'd be a lot easier than what I had to go through to get my mail working. Maybe their support is fantastic once you get an account working; I don't know -- I couldn't get that far to find out.
