Their TOS clearly outlines this. Just be careful.

Hacker, can you point me to the paragraph in the TOS? I find it hard to believe that Google is claiming ownership of my e-mails.

TadW I heard the same...I heard rumors that your email will be able to be searched...

I would like to see this link as well, hacker. I just had a look at gmail's Terms of use (https://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/terms_of_use.html) and it clearly states there:

---------------8<------------------------------

You acknowledge that Google owns all right, title and interest in and to the Service, including without limitation all intellectual property rights (the "Google Rights"), and such Google Rights are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

You also agree that you will not use any robot, spider, other automated device, or manual process to monitor or copy any content from the Service.

This says to me that Google specifically does _not_ own content.

Hey Jason,

try the thread mentioned, you should be able to grab an invite there

If you can't pm me your email address and I'll shoot one your way (still have 50 to give away... it never ends!)

A company called Mail2World (www.mail2world.com) is now offering FREE unlimited email storage.

They just sent out a press release about this: http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/050418/084907.html

Very interesting! But even though they say users don't like boundaries, surely they must at least limit attachment sizes. Maybe that's how they do it - text only?

If the interface is nice, it's definitely one to keep an eye on. But they have to be getting revenue from somewhere...

Free & unlimited never worked in the long-run. Wait until someone exploits this service and it will go down the drain.
