Many people are happy with Gmail. Several years ago when thinking of signing up for a Gmail account, I actually read the terms of service. At that time all users granted Google rights to all material posted to the service, whether E-mail text or attachment, to use for any purpose Google wished, forever. The terms also granted Google rights to use any copyright material sent. I didn't sign up. I don't know whether it's different now but you might want to check if you care about privacy or value the copyright of anything you send. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA
