And u think any free mail account is different? You know that if u send a non-patented invention via hotmail, Microsoft can legally claim that invention as their own if they get the patent application in first.

My free Hotmail account, currently has over 800 emails and only using 3% of space, so in theory space for over 26,000 emails.

With a 2GB account I would have 8 times the space and room for well over 200,000 emails.

I really don't want that much emails hanging around.

2. Mails can be read at any time by certain Google staff, which may be for the purposes of gathering information about the user...

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo aren't the only providers. The account I have with my ISP is very different from these.

? i never said they were the only providers! I was saying that what ever system you use the administrators can read your email if you leave it online instaed of deleting it or pop3ing it to your local machine. In that regard gmail is no different to the rest.
