Don't forget the fact that they archive all of you email (even if you delete it) for an indefinate period of time. Using this, they tailor ads to your personality by using the same technology as the google ads on the bottom of this page: searching the material.
I love google. I use the search engine on average about 15 times a day. But this Gmail has a horrible "big brother" invasion of privacy feel. Personally, I want to have the final say about what happens to my email. If I want it deleted, I can shred that file on my HDD.
