Why is everyone so eager to get gmail anyway? There are some SERIOUS privacy issues with it, particularly if the same machine is using both gmail and the Google search engine.

There are many solutions out there that don't compromise privacy, yet offer as much or more storage space.

For some informed reading, go to the following site for more information:

Cheers,

Like yahoo, hotmail or any other computer connected to the net? It's a safe bet anything you send over the internet is being captured by someone. Just don't plan to do illegal things via email.

While privacy is generally a concern unless one takes significant steps to preserve it, the point of my question, is why would one use a free mail service that invades it to a much more significant degree than other solutions out there.

Would/do you willingly divulge more information to a telemarketer or other information gathering than you absolutely have to? If said telemarketer offered you $5 to give more information than you normally would, would you do it? Do you hold a Safeway Club card or equivalent?

I guess that some people don't care as much as others about their habits being monitored and tracked, and becoming a willing cog in a big machine.

Cheers,
Gerry
