How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World?

Posted by timothy on from the pretty-darn-well-really dept.

Wrecks writes "Flexbeta compares several email services that promise 1 GB of storage to see how they measure up to Google's Gmail. The review mentions how one service, ShireMail, offers far less features than SpyMac yet cost 10 times as much. The article also mentions how well Gmail is able to filter spam messages." Among the webmail options not mentioned in this review (the authors compare a total of five offerings) is another gig-of-mail offering from the Indian rediffmail.

    I'm sure gmail stacks up really well (if not beating all of) against the competition.

    But a more important question: How well does the intrusiveness of gmail stack up against other providers? With Google reading each email that passes through their servers, it's a question that needs to be answered. Has a review been written about this?
