email messages.
And that's crap as far as I'm concerned. I see no reason why a company
providing me an email service should seek to archive my messages without
permission and give me no way to delete those messages myself. That's
essentially what they are doing by not providing a means to delete my
email.
And believe me, if Microsoft announced a 'feature' such as this for
hotmail, the entire net would be in uproar.
Why? It's because people don't *trust* Microsoft. Therefore it IS a
privacy concern.
I won't be using the google mail service if I can help it.

It looks perfect. The ads are not intrusive, its clean and I'd use it.
The big thing is that everyone fears that their privacy will be
violated. Do
they not realize that their mail is stored on someone else's server and
ANYONE
with access to the server can just waltz in and read it? I can see
Judith's mail
on the HoF box. Anyone using DCloak (my spam catcher) has already posted
their
account into in order for it to work, and I'm a good guy.
We already trust faceless people at yahoo and hotmail to not read our
mail. At
least Google is saying that only a software agent will read it by them.
And the
amount of storage and features makes it worth it.
I wonder if they're hiring. I want to run their new group section where
each
group automatically gets an NNTP representation, an RSS feed as well as
standard
mailing list features. Just leverage all the cool ideas I have for HoF
(which I
can't do right away) into their system.
