I believe Sam user some Google facilities, Michelle.  We've been getting a lot of spammers registering on here with Gmail accounts.  Don't know if that says anything about their spam filtering or policies.

I like Gmail.  It's an alternative.  More than that...  :dunno:

I use gmail... and lots of their tools. I use their calendar an awful lot. Its pretty robust software and much better than anything microsoft have to offer. Google may want to scan your mail but at least they tell you about it, unlike microsoft. I stronly believe that Google's services are quite excellent... and with one google account you can do an awful lot.

I have to say, I have a gmail account, and very rarely get any spam on it, but then, I don't really use it all that much.

I also am a Google fan...

Best search engine, best browser  ;) and i've just started to organise my googlemail account too.

The best thing is that you can "fetch" your other mail to your googlemail account which means you can get all your mail where ever you are  :thumbs:

I think Google will always try and keep ahead of microsoft, ohh and Firefox  :devil: ;D ;)

Likewise. It's a useful backup to my other accounts.

I have 2 Gmail accounts and 3 google accounts under other domains

They usually work great the spam mechanism after being trained is one of the best I have found

I have never had any problems with them

If you need one with a short domain let me know
I know a couple
