Gmail is scary. http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/GmailLetter.htm

So, what is google giving with their email that makes people willing to have advertisements inserted into their private mail?

Confidential email!!! Who actually believes that any email is confidential?

Who actually believes that anything transmitted over the internet is confidential???

Erm, confidential email?

LOL

Confidential email!!! Who actually believes that any email is confidential? Virtually every ISP in existance runs virus scanning and spam scanning on incoming email, not to mention the fact that it's all transmitted plain text on unsecured lines.

If you want your email confidential, use some strong encryption.

Privacy issues with scanning! LOL!

It's not so much the security of the email. That is a given. It's what they might do with the info that I find... er.... questionable.

at this point you cannot just sign up for gmail. you need an invitation from someone who is a member. once you get invited and join you the get 6 invitations you can pass on.

What do you think they can "do"? Sell your email?

Anyway, gmail is webmail with a gigabyte of storage space and some neat threading and search features (supposedly makes it easy to deal with a large amount of mail by keeping threads together and that kind of thing).

You can certainly see how that's a nice alternative to Hotmail.

Yep, or parts of it.

I'm not telling you not to use it. In fact, go crazy and enjoy....
