More Gmail invitations

I have six five Gmail account[s] available. Email me separately at nullalux@gmail.com if you'd like one.

Why would you want one? 1,000 megabytes of storage (Yay, archives—never delete again!), nice automatic "conversation" email grouping (basically threads), sophisticated email searches, no pop-ups or banner ads, and all the cool kids have one. Read more directly from the horse's mouth.

and a TOS that basically says they can do whatever they want with your mail, and that they may or may not actually delete it, when you click 'delete'. And that they might mine it for statistical data. Oh, and that they will immediately co-operate with any law-enforcement, ever.

The ramifications of these three items are left as an exercise for the reader. Your only clue is the fact that their corporate motto is "don't be evil", and the only organizations that ever *say* they're not evil.... :)

Thanks for the further info.

If any of you find those caveats to be prohibitive, by all means, procure your email service elsewhere.

Personally, I've found Gmail to be serviceable for my needs. But be sure to read the Terms of Service before you accept an invitation, to see whether it's a good match for you.

Just to let you know, I am keeping a new journal devoted strictly to my return to teaching (and stuff that will come with it) to which I have added you as a friend, because I value you and your thoughts and opinions extremely highly.
