what good is all that space if the quality is bad?
does it have pop access? does it have spam management? does it have mail forwarding?
if it is another mail service like hotmail or yahoo i'd rather use my own isp for emails.
Depending on the size limit on each of the emails and how fast u can download attachments, it could actually become a viable p2p tool.
I was just thinking that :lol: but there will be one of those stupid 3mb limits :angry:Quote:

You actually think google would let you do that(p2p)...i think not...there going to be screening e-mails....plus here"s a quote from a magazine article"
QUOTE:
Google's cookie is an index for all your searches until 2038, and sits alongside an Orkut cookie that tells Google - or friendly "law enforcement officials" or marketeers - exactly who you are. Google's Gmail will complete the picture, indexing private electronic discourse under the main Google search cookie.
The source quoted is just one of many sources of information that point to major problems with invasions of individual's privacy. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Privacy International, EPIC, CCSR, Privacilla, to name just a few, are all organisations or centres of research that consider the potential that the misuse of computers can have on our civil liberties.

http://www.privacyinternational.org/
http://www.epic.org/
http://www.ccsr.cse.dmu.ac.uk/index.html
http://www.privacilla.org/
Computers may be used by many different types of organisation for many reasons but when so called 'services' have a sting in the tail where another nail in the privacy coffin is driven in, for commercial reasons, there is real cause for concern.
The problem is that there is too little fuss made about privacy and what its loss could do to our society. :frusty:

Ok... Anyone seen this site -->> http://www.spymac.com/user.php?action=login
It seems Spymac is offering their own 1GB email service in competition to Google. I'm interested in signing up, as the admins are adament that it will be easy to run and security high.
Any thoughts?
I use it...very satisfied with the functionality of it....signed up a few weeks ago...were a few issues with it...but that was due to the high volume of new customers...plus it doesn"t seem to have the privacy concerns as Google does.overall seems like a suitable mail service :devil:

Blasting Gmail as a horrific intrusion into Internet users' privacy, a California state senator has introduced legislation to block Google's free e-mail service.
State Sen. Liz Figueroa, a Democrat from the Bay Area city of Fremont, said Thursday that it should be illegal for a company to scan the text of its customers' e-mail correspondence and display relevant advertising--even if customers explicitly agree to the practice in exchange for a gigabyte of storage.
"Telling people that their most intimate and private e-mail thoughts to doctors, friends, lovers and family members are just another direct-marketing commodity isn't the way to promote e-commerce," Figueroa said in a statement, which called Gmail customers' correspondence "a direct-marketing opportunity for Google."
Google has encountered unexpectedly severe criticism from advocates of more government regulation to control private companies' business practices. London-based Privacy International has fired off complaints to government officials in at least 16 nations. Meanwhile, a coalition of proregulatory privacy groups wrote a letter to Google, saying it "must" abandon plans to introduce Gmail in its current form. Less regulatory groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, did not sign that letter.
Figueroa's bill says an e-mail or instant-messaging provider can scan outgoing messages from its users, but not incoming ones. It includes a narrow exception for spam and virus filtering.
A Google representative said the company is reviewing the legislation and did not have an immediate response.
Figueroa's proposal would do far more than merely block the forthcoming Gmail service, which is not yet available to the public.
Her broadly written bill says no e-mail or IM provider may "review, examine or otherwise evaluate the content of incoming e-mail or instant message" originating from outside the system without the explicit permission of all outside correspondents, a difficult requirement to meet in practice.
That would make it illegal for a California technology company to offer a "family friendly" e-mail service that discards messages with sexually explicit jokes, for instance. It would also prohibit reviewing incoming messages to make clickable hyperlinks out of text phrases like "www.news.com."
"It's OK to read people's e-mail, if you're trying to fight spam, but it's not OK if you want to show them ads," said Sonia Arrison, director of technology policy at the free-market Pacific Research Institute in San Francisco. "It's not about privacy. It's about hating corporate America."
Figueroa's office acknowledged that there were problems with the bill but predicted that they could be resolved during negotiations in the legislature. A hearing is scheduled before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 4. http://techrepublic.com.com/b.gif
