we are getting a bit OT here, but within the context of the gmail vs exchange and your comment regarding reading other's email because exchange allows it, is bogus.
it does happen, but it is *clearly* logged (that another user has another's mailbox open). and the majority of the time, it is only when security plays a factor, either by request or authorization that you must scan (and there better be damn good cause). however, this is a very grey area that has been argued many times over one's privacy at a company which employes you.
however, gmail is a minor threat to hotmail, perhaps not yahoo at all, but all will die to either fastmail or shinyfeet as they give what the user's want, not what the company wants as a new revenue stream. and even if there was a gmail appliance, they would have to provide admin ability to access emails of the accounts created.
