The gt-account is more secure and reliable than any web-based email account.  I
do not want someone off campus to be able to crack my account (easily at least).
Not that I am an expert, but password cracking bots seem fairly easy to write for
html environments.

As a side note, the hotmail account can be used for registering or purchasing
online when you do not want to receive junk email to your main account.  I know
it is illegal for places to distribute your email address, but it happens often.
In a way, having two accounts allows you more screening control and freedom to
give out your email address without fear of spam (your can always cancel the
hotmail account or use the cool block feature in hotmail).
