As beguiling as 1GB of space for email sounds, the privacy issues are not to be taken lightly. And there is absolutely no way they could keep themselves from selling the aggregated data, even if they promise to strip the personal identifiers from it -- the info is just too lucrative. And on a minor note: this could render the Tivo/Amazon factor (where you program or show interest in one particular item, and the interface starts shoving all manner of items, theoretically based on the same subject, at you) particularly galling.

I thought I was the only one who did not find this idea all peachy keen. Apart from the privacy concerns, what about the irritation level of any ads showing up when I am sending mail? Amazing how the right hand of Google gives us the search bar with pop-up blocker while the left hand dangles G-mail. Thank you, Karen!

I already have a Yahoo account. It might be convenient, and it has 1,012Mb free storage space compared to 4MB for Yahoo. And apparently the other internet email providers are considering ending their free service. Nobody has to sign up for it, but I guess I might be willing to try it out.
