I can send you an invite. I also have never had my gmail account spammed the way you have. It is an account I use personally so only my friends/family have it. I don't ever recall having any spam at all.

I wanted to sign up for an account and make it something like 1k4lm245pdg and test it, but there was no way for me to sign up. What types of personal information do we collect and how do we use it? Account information. When you register with Google, we will request some personal information, including your first and last name, a user name (which will be used for your email address) and password to create your account. Your password will be maintained on our system in an encrypted form. Just in case you forget your password, we also may ask you to choose a secret question and answer and provide a secondary email address where we can contact you to re-access your Google account. If you already have a Google account, we may ask you for some additional information to enable an email account. Email contents and usage. The contents of your Gmail account also are stored and maintained on Google servers in order to provide the service. Google's computers process the information in your email for various purposes, including formatting and displaying the information to you, delivering targeted related information (such as advertisements and related links), preventing unsolicited bulk email (spam), backing up your email, and other purposes relating to offering you Gmail. Because we keep back-up copies of data for the purposes of recovery from errors or system failure, residual copies of email may remain on our systems for some time, even after you have deleted messages from your mailbox or after the termination of your account. Google employees do not access the content of any mailboxes unless you specifically request them to do so (for example, if you are having technical difficulties accessing your account) or if required by law, to maintain our system, or to protect Google or the public. We also may collect information about the use of your account, such as how much storage you are using, how often you log in and other information related to your registration and use of Gmail. Information displayed or clicked on in your Gmail account (including UI elements, ads, links, and other information) is also recorded. We use this information internally to deliver the best possible service to you, such as improving the Gmail user interface, preventing fraud within our advertising system, and better targeting related information. Google will never sell, rent or share your personal information, including your Gmail address or email content, with any third parties for marketing purposes without your express permission. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Riddle Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 6:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Spam on a GMail account > >I don't know if anyone would be in a position to comment as to why but maybe >if u didn't use the account but still published your email. Might be a virus Nope... Never sent an email from that account - not even to myself, never advised anyone that I even had the account. The account was created from my personal machine and not from a "public" machine. I don't use a virus/worm magnet program like Outlook - I use Eudora Pro - so even if my machine had been "infected" - it has not been - the addressbook would not have been vulnerable. Very odd. >which could have used your email stored in your address book or worst the >computer which you used to create the account from could be public and could >well be compromised.
