Correction: "two parts", not "to parts"

No.. That would be wrong as well. To begin with, the sentence is really poorly written.
"Think of it as a combination of one part something Download Squad readers love (GMail) and to parts things they hate with a passion (Adobe Air and Incredimail)."
"Two parts" instead of "to parts" here wouldn't make any sense. It would make the sentence even more broken than it already is.
"Think of it as a combination of one part something Download Squad readers love (GMail), and another part something they hate with a passion (Adobe Air en Incredimail)."
Also.. I don't hate Adobe Air! Adobe Air is cool :) Incredimail is very much like an incurable fatal disease, though. Not touching it with a ten foot pole.

Oh, "two" can be used there though, but then you need to use proper punctuation in order for the sentence to make sense.
"Think of it as a combination of one, something Download Squad readers love (GMail) and two, things they hate with a passion (Adobe Air and Incredimail)."

No, "two parts" could work (it's like a ratio). "Take one part flour and two parts sugar." The author wanted a sentence like a recipe.
