Ohhhhhh? I've heard of GMail, but what's this privacy invasion business???????? :-O
1 GB storage, so nothing has to be deleted ever. They do their googlishious thing to it, to characterize the email so they can hit you with targetted ads. The ToS says the data won't be deleted even after you close the account, etc. Apparently the ToS is messy enough that it's gotten the attention of a lot of the privacy zealots, including Congress. Lawsuits threatened, etc. AND, since Google is preparing to IPO... there are some oversight and disclosure issues being raised.
<I have no problemo with it in Mozilla 1.3.1 or iCab 2.9.8 on OS 9.2.2.>
I'll soon be able to try the Mozilla (9.1 though, not 9.2.2). I have iCAB 2.9.7 and find it incredibly slow, even worse than Netscape 4. Will have to try 2.9.8 for the hell of it.
*nod* iCab has slowed down of late. Depends on the web site too. Moz has it's speed issues too; abysmally slow to open new windows, etc. I'm still using both browsers, about 50/50 now. What one has problems with, the other seems to handle. Gettin the hang of using Tabs. :)
Speed-wise, I guess I'm used to being on the low end of the MHz scale. I do a lot of multi-tasking... Hand the browser a bunch of URLs to load while I go check email or gab on IRC, etc. Keep the Mac doing stuff in the background, then flip around to review things when its all ready.
<Donno about IE; I'm in a MS-Free Zone currently. Bottom line tho... What good is web-only email?>
Gotta agree with you here on both counts. No Windoze allowed on my computers, and I hate webmail with a passion. The only time I even bother going to my ISP's webmail site is when I get an attachment so large it chokes up my email client.
ew. Which email client?
I've never had Eudora choke. But then again, for things over a few MB, I tell people to either ftp or dcc.
