I use the original basic interface... THERE ARE NO ADS ON MINE!!!! (I dont use it very often as i do not trust google) |
|
| Is there a free email service that doesn't have ads? (I'm not aware of one.) I only "trust" any of them to deliver my messages [most of the time anyway]. Beyond that... meh--six of one, ...
Thunderbird just looks better (and I don't have to worry about the provider screwing with the interface while I wasn't looking); it has more features, too, than a simple HTML interface. And, really, IMAP isn't too much different than using a browser interface with regard to simply checking, sending and receiving messages.
So, M$ wants us to trust Bob and Clippy instead of the "Gmail Man"? ...sure.

Re: The Gmail Man - Microsoft tries a little FUD said by Mele20:said by Nightfall:[
Microsoft's privacy policy for office 365 isn't easily found.
That's because the privacy policy differs based on the region your ship to address is located in. It is easy to find if you add your region to your search terms. Apparently, consumers cannot get Office 365. The privacy policy for the USA is quite good but it is a paid service ($6 monthly for Small Business) and not free like Google's email so the privacy policies can't be fairly compared. Google Apps is a pay-for service too. $50/user/year. They offer a free version, but that's besides the point.

Years ago the Hotmail TOS claimed ownership of all content, including your email. So if, for instance, you emailed coworkers about a patent your company was working on, Microsoft claimed they owned the info.
Very likely to be impossible to enforce, and when it was publicized they removed it.
Ahh, took me a while to Bing it up (just kidding, of course I searched with Google). It was 2001. Here is a link to the discussion on AnandTech.
