Gmail = bad
major security risk!!!
Tuesday, July 5, 2005 by Tominated | Discussion: Internet
Google has been naughty. They have kept every email that a gmail user has sent or recieved (the mail still got sent).
They have also been keeping the gmail users details. All of the emails and info have been kept on one helluva server. This is just to warn you.

I only have one thing to add, if you are really worried about particular emails, encrypt them or use a second service (where you are also poked, plotted and sold...).
Either way, I am using gmail for my basic stuff and another service for my work/business items.

If the Gmen read my emails . . . boy would they have a good laugh.
And possibly a heart attack.
And the Gwomen would probably all turn lesbian.
(Really, my friend and I are working on a 'literature project'. You don't want to know.)
Anyways, I don't really care if Google reads my emails or not, probably the main reason they're archiving emails is because of this ever-growing pedophile problem . . .
I don't blame them. I wouldn't want all proof to be lost if some 60-year-old lunatic chased after me . . . ugh.
But, now there are probably job openings at Google, 'Email Reader'. Now wouldn't that be fun?
I didn't think so either.

Dude Gmail is the best E-Mail system ever made!
Hotmail is only good for msn
Yahoo just plain sucks shit....
Mail is ok but needs some work
and i think thats all the major ones
but come on you have like 1000 MB of space! that more than we would all need put together!
ok it dosetn look as good as some of the other ones but its the fastes it has the E-Mail notifier
and it has a instant message thing just not the same as msn ( i like it better )
Now what els do you need?

All email places keep a copy of the client emails, if for no other reason then for backup reasons.
filters scan the emails for key words and phrases, so in essence, it is "reading" your email. ALL filters, for ALL email providers. Remember when the (US) goverment did that thing where it made it so that they could filter emails and determine about terrorists?
Point of fact is this, Someone, Somewhere, knows Exactly what your doing, YES there is a Big Brother. Get over yourself, and reast assures that Google is NOT Big Brother.
The Goverments and Military are.

Gmail is gorgeous. I can still recall the day when my Yahoo! Mail is still 4MB
