I am going to be brave.........

what is gmail?

ajm

Its like hotmail but you get a gig of space for free. The catch is that they plan to scan your mail automatically to discover what you are into for targetted advertising.

Google's web based e-mail service. Loads of storage space, not sure if it is unlimited but it does run to gigs if not.

Tiggs

and the point of 1 gig of emails is what? isnt that like stacking your letters up in a huge box at home???

The more mail they let you store the more accurately they can analyse the content and hence the more accurate the ads and hyperlinks they present to you will be.

Apart from spam and stupid banter I have just about every single email I have sent or received at work and at home since 2000! It's very useful, to be able to search through previous correspondance. Storage is cheap, so why not?

David Lock

but leaving the box outside for others to read?

Well bearing in mind that most email is unencrypted and can be read by anyone who chooses to intercept it - that's not a major issue. Also bear in mind that almost all email is scanned in some way now for anti virus and anti spam purposes. The ads are pretty small to be honest and if you use a decent email client like Thunderbird from Mozilla, you don't have to see the ads at all.

People are prepared to give away vast amounts of private data on a daily basis. (much more so than anything that Gmail will collect or see). All the BS about Gmail and privacy is vastly over-hyped. If you choose to use unencrypted email to send confidential data then more fool you. If you just use email to have a chat with your mates, then I don't really believe Gmail offers anymore of a threat to your privacy than any other email account.

Is it possible to use outlook express to receive you mails on a g-mail account or is it strictly web-based only?
If it is possible can someone send me an invite!

Thanks
