what would everybody rate google mail? i have only just started using it and would give it a 9. Its a shame u have to be invited to join though!

Its got a massive inbox for you aswell!

I just dont agree with google's policy, not that any other webmail service offers much privacy, so i guess they're just being honest.

Give me a secure POP3 box anytime

lol.. i love their new email service it is amazing.. really easy to use and has a good lay out to it.. the main reason i will use it is because of the size of the inbox.. that really does it for me 2800mb OMG!

I think its quite good, though as you said pot, having to be invited is a bit silly, i dont see why they've done it like that

Just remember your big inbox is being scanned by google for many purposes... (you did read the t&c's didnt you?)

bits of it.. but even if they do scan it doesnt matter, i dont say anything bad in my emails!
