Heh, I bypass that too. I use Opera, with it set to "Allow only requested pop-ups," so if I click a link that's supposed to open a pop-up, it does, but nothing else. Plus I get awesome tabbed browsing, in a way that makes a lot more sense to me than Mozilla's. (I tried Firefox, or whatever the named browser is, and it's good, but it doesn't fit my browsing style.)
I'm all for consolidation whenever possible, especially if it means I get harassed less. I don't use MSN's messenger because it annoys me to death (pop-ups and whatnot), but having Yahoo's messenger and email integrated is wonderful. And my main Hotmail is linked on my homepage, which is a locally-stored custom link collection that I use all the time - hit the email link and it signs me in automatically. (Ah, the benefits of having your own computer.)
Though I've seen people elsewhere discussing gmail's interface, saying that it's incredibly intuitive and very fast (only one larger-than-icon-size image on the whole page). A screenshot or two might tempt me, though since it is still beta, I'm sure there's still issues.
