I actually use their pop server. I only know that they scan my emails,
because occasionally when I'm browsing, an advert I don't want to see
slips through adblock and it has to be a key word from an email, since I
don't remember searching for the item, but I'll usually get more than
one instance.

I have used Gmail for 15 years or so now after I got a very early

are solid and they do know what they are doing. Consider that some of
the folks who wrote the original specs for the Internet work there.
And some of the original UNIX creators also work there. If anyone
knows how to do reliable email, it's Google.
You can make Gmail even more "free" by using an IMAP-capable mailer,
like Thunderbird. If you do that you'll never see ads.
I like the Gmail browser user interface. I have chosen the "Terminal"
theme. It's high contrast black and white, fairly minimalist design,
and as a side effect: no ads there either.

I used to use Earthlink back when they were actually based in the US,
Atlanta to be exact.
When they moved Tech Support to "elsewhere" and all their techs were totally
script driven I changed to Google after trying to reactivate my Hotmail
account, who banned me for spamming, (basically sending out a notification
to my address book notifying them of my new email address). I then, because
it seemed appropriate, tried to register [email protected] but
Microsoft has no sense of humor especially when they're the butt of the
joke.
Sure Google scans my emails for key words to try and sell me something, but
that's automated and I don't do anything on email that I care if anyone else
sees. At least people running the joint are mostly competent, and the
service is "free".

I've now identified three Earthlink mail server IP addresses that are
RBL by "Spam Eating Monkey". I think "Spam Eating Monkey" must be the
service PDML uses.
All three RBL instances track back to the same idiot Earthlink "user"
spamming some other mailing list.
I spent an extended period of time on the phone with Earthlink's
"technical support" in India Friday night; a complete waste of time.
I'll make one more attempt on Monday during US business hours, but I
might be looking for another email provider ... AGAIN.
