Well - GMail is rather worse than the other "free mail" services -as while the other "free mail" services are essentially free unsecure mail, GMail is a front end to a super-email-trend-search informaiton data-warehouse.
Ideas like creating email-link-trends to see who emails what to whom when about what topic are the things they are tryign to develop... the fact they already admit no email is "deleted" but rather goes into the "search source" along with the email adresses you and zillions of other people emailed to, with the content, type and amount of mail associated to it.
Scary.... huh? hehehe
