    Maybe I'm just paranoid, but what are the chances that whoever is running that site will register any name you type in, in an attempt to sell it to you later?

    Anythings possible I guess but think about it rationally

    a) who in their right mind would be bothered registering hundreds, if not thousdands of email addresses

    b) 90% of people will just choose an alternative if the name they want is gone when the thing goes public.

    c) how would said bogeyman know how to contact you out of the internet population and track you down to sell you an address.

    about the same odds a domain reseller registers the domain name you search for... :rolleyes:

    it'll probably always remain "beta" - see 'news'... when it's made public-nobody knows. try macspy.com - 1 gig mail + 350mb storage apparently..

    supposedly yahoo is going to increase it's storage space to 100mb over the summer. Take a look here. It ain't a gig, but tis better than nothing.

    too little too late really, i mean, theyre offering 10% of what google have to offer, without the nice search and conversation features. Once google sort out their spam guard and afew other bits that need fixing (like automatically adding any address you send to into your contacts) then they'll be hard pushed to find real competition to them. that Mac or spymac service looks good, at least it has the 1gb. The only reason I'll keep using my yahoo account is for the webspace, its the only thing google dont seem to offer. spymac does tho.
