Anyone left who needs a gmail invite?

Whoa! I had no real idea about most of that.
A shame actually, because I really like gmail for the most part.

Is there anything else out there like gmail, but without the BS? I am ready to switch.
 
Gmail is no worse than any other free email service. Anyone who believes that yahoo or hotmail is any more secure is kidding themselves.
Bottom line is, dont transmit sensitive information in your email.
 
Well, it looks like a jumped the gun there a bit. After reading a few policies, gmail really is not much different than any number of other free email services out there.

I don't put anything into email that I really don't want read by my ISP or anyone else, so it's a mute point for me.
 
I run my own mailserver, I like having control of as much as possible... :)
Also I have alot more free space than gmail can offer me, about 170 GB at the moment.. :)
