They raise some good points. I only use Gmail for transfering data from home to office/college.

Interested to hear your opinions.

Nice PR for such a simple and relatively new site.

The tinfoil hat brigade is out in full force I see.

Conspiracy theorists are good people. There is something suspiciously up with everything. Especially gmail.

They're coming for you. Oh yes.

Too late Microsoft/Hotmail already one up'ed GMAIL. My Hotmail account has 2 gigs of storage. Must be a conspiracy

And secondly.. WTF is the big deal. There are 5 million email providers out there. Don't use GMAIL if it triggers your conspiracy theory button that anyone give a rats ass what you email. I think people have a real ego about what the goverment/fbi/whatever care to look at.

I use gmail, doesnt really bother me

NinjaSteve · 09-09-2004, 11:47 AM

All providers keep a copy of the emails. Yahoo, hotmail, etc. So Gmail doing it is no big issue. And if you can't delete messages easily, only archive, they are doing that so you can find your mail at a later date and for the reply thread thing. If you have a total of 40,000 emails I'm sure the storage would reach about 600megs most likely.

As for the 180 days thing, I don't think that's accurate.

Someone have too many time on his hand....

Gotta wonder why some people carry on with life. If they're that worried about something silly like gmail how shit scared must they be by genuine concerns? Were I them I'd have topped myself by now.
