I have a yahoo account and 99.999 percent of the email I get there is "junk" and if it wasn't for yahoo groups and such, I would probably just close my yahoo id/account. -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Donald L. Roberts Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:28 PM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Want a Gmail account - just call and ask I see no disadvantages to using Gmail as a conventional email account and do find it advantageous that messages are retained on google for subsequent searching. There is however one major disadvantage to a gmail account. The attachment size limit is something like 3 megs. Conversely, yahoo's attachment size limit is I think 10 megs.

I use the pop feature of gmail and all the messages that I've downloaded are still on gmail, should I ever need to go there and find something. This means I can still search and all that you mentioned and still use the more accessible way of getting my mail via a pop client like Outlook. -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Holmes Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:38 AM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Want a Gmail account - just call and ask -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Yes, it can but using POP this way kinda defeats the purposes of having a gmail account. gmail offers all kinds of labeling and search capabilities that triditional POP mail clients just can't do.
