Yeah can't beat Gmail really in nearly all aspects, but the fact that it scans for your emails such as your invoices, receipts and flight information etc to deliver you advertisements is something that makes me wanted to avoid using Gmail and the alike (i.e.Outlook) as much as possible.
Here's my periodic reminder that Gmail does not scan your emails for advertising purposes. The ads you see in your Inbox relate to your activity on the web, and you won't see any ads in your Inbox if you don't use the Promotions tab--I always deselect all the optional Inbox categories. I don't want Gmail making decisions as to which emails go where.

These ads are shown to you based on your online activity while you're signed into Google. We will not scan or read your Gmail messages to show you ads.

Also, with smaller email providers how do you know what they are doing with your email? They could be sitting around reading your emails for kicks and you would never know.

I wouldn't want Gmail to scan my mails, at all.
