I recently was offered a gmail account, which was very kind of the person who gave it to me, but i have to say i wont be using it. Gmail is quite frankly the most sinister and unsubtle mass information gathering technique i have ever come across, and it is a frightening infringement on ones individuality, confidentiality, and privacy.
I'm very interested to hear everyone's opinions of gmail; i for one will not send mail to a gmail account, nor will i encourage the use of it. In fact, i would actively participate in any effort to halt the spread of gmail usage.
Your thoughts please.....

It's not so great as it seems. I use spymac. It's way much better.

it seems all the gmail discussions turn into spymac promotion
personally just the name "spymac" puts me off
I don't trust any of them anyway and don't keep anything too personal on hotmail or gmail but those accounts serve their purpose well

That's not a promotion
. I just use it and it's similar 'cos the 1GB account. That's all.

I stay away from free web based email these days anyway.
I'd rather set up a website and have a more exclusive address and less spam

@elrond, no sorry, I didn't mean it like that
anyway these are just throw away accounts. if you don't use them for a period of time they are deleted and the username recycled so I can't see the harm myself
I'm more worried about cookies and spyware on my pc and do a cleanup every day
