I can't believe anyone is using GMail.

They are reading your emails to send you appropriate ads. Privacy? Data protection?

they do ?  

that´s not normal .. who allows such bs, isn´t there a law or something ?

f**k gmail

edit: on the other hand.. i could use them as my external hard drive

sending a pm

Hold on a sec folks, basiclly all gmail does is run a parser against your mailbox, and crosslink in with google ads. Proper coding would have that code run as a user that google-people can't get at.

For example, all you webmasters that have php/mysql sites, you have live db servers sitting out on the net. The catch is that they don't respond to external' queries, and proper net design in a larger datacenter like what google will need will physically isolate that.

And if you look at the screenshots, the interface is beautifully simplistic. So much less screen bloat, and more efficent than yahoo and hotmail.

pm'd.

Quote[/b] ]Email contents and usage. The contents of your Gmail account also are stored and maintained on Google servers in order to provide the service. Google's computers process the information in your email for various purposes, including formatting and displaying the information to you, delivering targeted related information (such as advertisements and related links), preventing unsolicited bulk email (spam), backing up your email, and other purposes relating to offering you Gmail. Because we keep back-up copies of data for the purposes of recovery from errors or system failure, residual copies of email may remain on our systems for some time, even after you have deleted messages from your mailbox or after the termination of your account. Google employees do not access the content of any mailboxes unless you specifically request them to do so (for example, if you are having technical difficulties accessing your account) or if required by law, to maintain our system, or to protect Google or the public.

Sad to see that people want such things...

Sum it up on your own:

* they process the email's contents for you (formatting/displaying... removing critical texts?);

* copies of email may survive longer than you want them to do;

* employees access the content if required by law (difficult point, a thin line regarding data protection)

* employeed access the content to protect Google (well, how do we define this?)...

I just got me an invite today from a bud of mine. Yum! 1 Gig of e-mail space...

[DracoPaladore 0]

Well, I don't own Gmail, but I am thankful for it. To out do Gmail, Yahoo has upgraded my free account from 5 megabytes to 100.

Actually, most or all email provider do this and all CAN do this if they want to. Every company makes backups of their data, those backups survive for a long time and can be accessed by employees and will be handed out to the law. The formatting thing (and often filters too, eg spam or virus filters) will be done by all webmailers too. Only the "employees screen mails for critical content" may be illegal in some countries (but maybe mandatory in others).

So i don't really get how this is a point against gmail, it seems to be a point against not running your own mailserver and only sending gpg encrypted mails...
