GMail is cool. Thanks Matt :)

Look out for GMail Tools. You can use your account as remote hard disc and to-do list for example. Very nice! :D

I've been meaning to post on here for ages to ask peoples opinion on GMAIL. I've been using it full time as my primary email address for well over a month now and I'm really pleased with it.

It's so much quicker than Hotmail, Yahoo etc. The only criticism I would have is that you can't create folders.

But it's not too bad as you can apply labels and then archive your old mail.

Best free webmail system I've ever used.

I think it's pretty good, like IFRAZ says it's a shame you can't create folders and move mail around, don't really get on with the labels too well. Too much hassle!

For free though it's very good!

I've heard some dodgy things about privacy issues on g-mail. Apparently, while logged in to g-mail, if you do a google search then your g-mail account info is sent along with the search request.

i.e. google will know who you are and what you are searching for - no doubt to offer you some "search enhancements" (adverts).

I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't happen elsewhere though and its just that g-mail is new people talk about it.

1Gb storage is nice though! like a virtual hard drive you can access from anywhere!

Here's a link to a BBC story on the issue, though that's not where I heard it from.

BBC news story

Google's own privacy statement says - "If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your account among all of our services in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services."

I still use g-mail though, being fairly immune to paranoia!

Yes I have already noticed this.

I sent an email to a supplier enquiring about a K&N filter and when he responded there were Google sponsored ads on the right hand side of the screen with links to other suppliers of K&N.

On another occasion I sent an email to a friend of mine who's into downloading Asian music and when I got a reply from her it had links to Asian music download sites.

Got me thinking.....
