-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So, how long does everyone think that gmail will...
1. exist 2. be free or take your email hostage 3. give out free invites I've been pondering this over the last few hours in an effort to revamp the way I handle my email and mailing lists. I've been an avid user of kmail since I can remember. However I have pretty much every email I've ever gotten since circa 1995 (minus the spam). I've always chosen to give everyone who is a regular in my inbox their own mbox each year. Same with mailing lists... (I.E. SCLUG-2003, SCLUG-2004, SCLUG-2005, etc.) Needless to say Kmail has been freaking out on me when it gets over a gig worth of mail built up in /$HOMEDIR/Mail so I've created /$HOMEDIR/Mail-Archive then anytime I need to go back in time on a subject I end up dragging it back to /$HOMEDIR/Mail re-opening Kmail and searching through my archives.... My first thought brings me to gmail... Send all my lists there, filter them into "labels" and start running kcheckgmail in my KDE applets to check my gmail every hour. So do I trust the folks at google aren't going to show me where free ends and payments start? Or what day does Microsoft buy out Google and then why the hell would I stick with there service. So I'm throwing this out to the list. Let me know what your thoughts are. And dumping my email into /dev/null isn't an option I'm a digital pack rat who is set in his ways.
