<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.>
Gads! Now I won't even consider GMail for any reason! Though I have to say I'm really surprised Congress actually cares about citizen privacy.
It's a big election year, and being anti-big brother is a good thing for congress critters. It takes attention away from their involvement with the vast data mining projects being run by "other agencies".
...Article in the NYTimes today about riff raff using IRC for nefarious purposes. Apparently the FBI wanted one of the irc server developers to add a few "monitoring" features...
<ew. Which email client?>
Claris Emailer.
<I've never had Eudora choke. But then again, for things over a few MB, I tell people to either ftp or dcc.>
I won't use Eudora. The first time I tried it (I'd gotten it back in '95 with my first Mac) I had way too many problems with it,
There were some grody releases of Eudora back then. Eudora 6 is much better, really. :)
At this point, tho, whatever works. :)
