What are you talking about, gmail is a decent web based mail free service, works much better then yahoo, or hotmail. It is not slow and does not have to be used with dail up. and its is the only free service that offers free POP3...yahoo charges for that. Yes it is attached to google, and I agree that could be a draw back.....but then Yahoo and hotmail are also attached to large money hungry companies.
And Im so glad you can afford several hard drives. IT MUST be nice, not all of use are in that situation. I just lost everything on my lap top, my only computer, so yes I am glad that I still have all of the email stored on gmail. because I dont have time right now to deal with reloading all of my saved data. Funny how moving impedes time for things like that. about all I have time for is cking mail. and this list is the only one Im keeping up with. with comments like this though, Im wondering if I should be taking anything said on here as even vaguely reliable. Man get at least some facts straight, its fine to not like something, but dont miss-inform others just because you are miss-informed, or are making something up. god I hope that this is not how you come up with answers regarding CS and health topics. here Faith while your reading all the bad stuff about gmail, might as well read what it actually does offer. http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/about.html Meg'gan On 7/29/07, CWFugitt <c_wa...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Morning Faith, > > >> At 09:58 AM 7/29/2007, you wrote: > >What's GMail? > > It is an overrated Web Mail. > > Likely it is slow, it has to be using a dialup. > > Nothing is as good as a POP3 and SMTP server. > > It is is attached to Google, I would not use it for love or money. > > Read this. > http://ph3rny.blogspot.com/2006/03/vulnerability-in-gmail.html > > Someone said, When your computer crashes, you still have all your > messages.
