   Why when you could use a free email account paired with Outlook, and store an infinite amount of gigabytes on your hard drive?

   I'd say just get a bunch of free E-Mail accounts. Hahaha! It's cheaper then paying :grinthumb

[/quote] Because with Outlook (or any other similar e-mail client) you're restricted to your own computer. What if you don't have a laptop that you carry everywhere and you need to refer to some of your old mails?

   I would still go with my idea... Just transfer it to a different E-Mail Adress.

   A ganeric free mail account is less than 10 megabytes. You'd have to have a 100 mail accounts to beat Google.

   By the way, now that there has been a debate about Gmail's privacy, would you rather pay a bit and use a different e-mail provider than to have a free one with possible privacy issues?Then again, who knows how Lycos handles private e-mails. Google says no human reads the mails, too. I've had no problems with Gmail.

   Even with your ISP's Email you're never really sure if the Echelon "security system" isn't scanning your Emails either.I always believed Emails stored by providers such as Hotmail were always read at one point or another by someone other then the account owner . I mostly use those Email adresses to register to forums & such, I rarely use them for really personal Emails.If privacy is really a concern then take a pen & a pad & write the old way. But then again, are you sure your mailman doesn't open your letters before putting them in your mailbox ?[img]http://users.skynet.be/fa426454/images/Smilies/shrug.g
