I've never used my two acounts and just left them dormant and this thread reminded me I had them so logged in to check them. Found hundreds of spam emails even though I have never used the addresses and sent them to anyone. Spam central!
Anyone else find Gmail just as bad?

Had my gmail account a couple of years now and its much better than hotmail for spam, all gmail spam goes to the spam folder, with hotmail i find it in the inbox.

That's the next batch done - just a reminder, you need to PM me the email address that you want the invite to go to, I can only send 1 invite per email address, but if you have more than 1 mail address I don't mind sending you more invites.

Is GMail any more improved in the privacy sense...
I guess probably all internet stuff is accesible if someone really wants to find out where you've been anyway...

What will Google do with that data? 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.
"Once users register for Gmail, Google would be able to make that connection, if it chose to," Pam Dixon, head of the World Privacy Forum told the Los Angeles Times. "And if Google ever compared the two sets of data there are some people who would be chilled and embarrassed." Richard Smith, formerly at the Privacy Foundation pointed out that "Google kind of makes it easy to connect all the dots together."
