Google's Mail Now Open

[james_bond_rulez]

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 but there will be one of those stupid 3mb limits

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.

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.

I know this 1000 megabytes seems good but would every one who signed up use it all?

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
