Gmail started a year ago or so with 2GB and they're upping with about 0.5MB per second, so not before long will any gmail account hold 5GB too. The domain name resolves to an Alabama company. Never been there but seem like friendly folks.

It's free, so what's the real risk here? Otherwise I agree with what technossomy said.

Well you'll of course want to check out the privacy policy first.
Gmail can't be increasing at .5MB/s - at that rate you'd get an extra gigabyte in under an hour. Did you mean KB?\"Nifty News Fifty: When news breaks, we give you the pieces.\" - Sluggy Freelance

I almost never get pop-ups in Mozilla on WinXP. I went to the link posted above and when I exited, I got a pop-up! Seems odd for a site that offers "Spam, Virus, and CRAP free Email". Or maybe they mean "Spam, Virus, CRAP and free Email".

I think it's definatly a scam... who the hell can offer 5 gigabytes of FREE web space, 5 gigabytes of FREE e-mail space, and 250 megabyte attachments? On that note I don't even think it's possible to have 250 megabyte attachments. Do you know how long that would take to upload on dialup and what a strain that would put on servers if even a relatively small number of users like 10000 were submitting 250 megabyte attachments with 5 gb web space and 5 gb e-mail??
Oh, and guys, look at the capital "UES" logo... it looks like it says "LIES" at first glance... a subliminal message?

How many people are going to be sending 250mb attatchments anyway? That's nuts! There's really only 1 way to find out if it's a scam or not and that's to join.

Guys, seriously, the "UES" logo looks like it says "LIES"...
I'll join up, seriously, see how it goes, and post the results here... maybe I've found the new GMail?? I'm on Firefox, so any auto-executing spyware won't be able to start.

Even an activity as simple as counting I have to leave to others.
