It's essentially Spam...and not dissimilar to Pyramid...except for the fact they don't even promise you anything when you do their promotion for them....
It's a shitty PR deal that compromises your intellectual 'property'.

But, it's really spam free. The spam guard works exceptionally well. None other than G-mail will provide you a free POP account with such spam guard. I've accounts at fastmail (Outlook supported), yahoo, msn (Outlook supported), operamail, dataone (my ISP provider). But, I'm really satisfied with my G-mail. It's really fast and well-maintained. As under Beta they aren't promising you the security of your account. But, it's evident that they are trying their best to provide you a secure account.

| Secure? By scanning your email? |
Don't find any security problem so far.

| Sorry. Just don't like the idea tht they read your mail and when you delete an email google dosen't delete them rather they save them. |
Source please. Can’t understand what you said.
Once you delete a message, it's gone for good.
If you really need to delete a message, you can do so at any time. Here's how:
- First, move the message to 'Trash.' (You can still search for and retrieve messages in 'Trash.')
Open a conversation. → Click 'Show options.' → Click 'Trash this message.' - Then, select 'Delete Forever.' (You won't be able to recover a message after completing this step.)
Click 'Trash' along the left side of any Gmail page. → Select the message. → Click 'Delete Forever.'

Nope. Google saves everything even after you delete it. And thanks for the email lesson but I know how to use Gmail. Thanks.

Probably mistaken. Only a mad can do so. At least if I could be the owner of G-Mail, I would just tell you that sorry I don't have money to store your deleted massage. Because I can store those things for which I'm getting money. As G-Mail is ad-supported free mail, I must store all your valid mails and show you as you login. But, what would I earn storing the deleted one? This is just common sense.
Some news stories have suggested that Google intends to keep copies of users' email messages even after they've deleted them, or closed their accounts. This is simply not true. Google keeps multiple backup copies of users' emails so that they can recover messages and restore accounts in case of errors or system failure. (Can you remember what happened when WC melt down?) Even if a message has been deleted or an account is no longer active, messages may remain on their backup systems for some period of time. This is standard practice in the email industry, which Gmail and other major webmail services follow in order to provide a reliable service for users. They will make reasonable efforts to remove deleted information from our systems as quickly as is practical.

New feature of G-Mail - Export contacts:
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click 'Contacts' along the left side of any Gmail page.
- Click 'Export' in the upper-right corner of your Contacts list.
- Select the format in which you'd like to export your contacts' information.
- Gmail CSV (for import into another Gmail account): formats your contacts' information so you can easily import it into another Gmail account.
- This option encodes your CSV file in Unicode/UTF-8.
- Outlook CSV (for import into Outlook clients, including Outlook Express): formats your contacts' information so you can easily import it into various versions of Microsoft Outlook.
- This option encodes your CSV file based on your language preferences, since Outlook doesn't accept Unicode files. When you import your contacts into Outlook, some entries may become garbled if they contain characters that aren't part of your language's character set.
- Gmail CSV (for import into another Gmail account): formats your contacts' information so you can easily import it into another Gmail account.
- Click 'Export Contacts.'
- Select a location to save your file, and click 'OK.'

And yet, they back up their computers, so delete e-mail isn't fully deleted for up to a month. I can live with that. And I'm dang happy they back things up. Anti-gmail people bother me. If you don't want to use the best free service out there, fine. Don't use it.

I do have about 300 invites to send out for those who would like to experiment with having an account with them.
