Actually I was looking all over google's pages last night for this info, but couldn't find it.I also read something hinting google might host your web page. Is this one of their services yet?
Right, but as long as they aren't storing them all, they only have access to one at a time. Your entire mailbox on google is much more valuable, and more of a security/privacy risk.There are plugins for firefox to do gmail encryption, but getting anyone else you email with to use encryption is hard. Google shouldhave integrated encryption.
Oooo, sorry, slow close. We would have accepted "shame you can send HTML". You see HTML is meant to be viewed in a browser, not within an email client, regardless of if it's checked online. If someone has some HTML to show you, they need to send a link. Same thing with 2Meg pictures of your last party pix, don't send them as attachments....repeat after me: SMTP IS NOT A TRANSFER PROTOCOL!
I think that fear is well justified. If you look at how well Google does with Spam filtering alone they win. I've had the same main email address for 8 years, I prob get 1-2 spams a week in my inbox, with an untold amount (currently over 10,000) in my Spam folder. I used to run my own mailserver, with its own spam fighting abilities and webmail via SSL for checking, but it was just too much to keep up; Google has struck gold on this.Having said that, I can't believe some other company out there wouldn't be able to duplicate the spam filtering, and then just improve upon the email UI (Roundcube anyone?) I thought Zimbra would be this one, but they're going more for corporate and sm business, plus now Yahoo owns them and will brush them to the back of the bus quickly (sorry, my confidence in them is gone).
Obviously this is new to the people digging it... Why don't you just IGNORE it instead of taking the time to let everybody know that YOU have already seen this. Morons...

Off topic but somewhat related, I'd like to use Gmail to retrieve email from a POP account which is apparently in beta testing and not available to the general public.<a class="user" href="http://jimstips.com/gmailtips/gmail_tip_59_new_feature_gmail_adds_pop_mail_fetcher.html">http://jimstips.com/gmailtips/gmail_tip_59_new_fea ...</a>If I'm wrong please fill me in, I'd love to do this.

POP is a truly evil thing.
