OT: gmail replacement (or: gmail pissed me off)

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,
Before you jump, you might to read this:
http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/13/google-buzz-privacy-update/
I'm not trying to convince you to stay with gmail, but every free mail
service has it's price. They (Google) did stupid mistakes regarding privacy
etc but as you can see, they try to fix it.
