Large Web Host Urges Customers to Use Gmail
1sockchuck writes "LA hosting company DreamHost, which hosts more than 700,000 web sites, is encouraging its customers to use Google's Gmail for their e-mail, rather than the DreamHost mail servers. DreamHost is continuing to support all its existing e-mail offerings, but said in a blog post that email is "just not something people are looking for from us, and it's something the big free email providers like Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google can do better." DreamHost addresses a question about Google that has vexed many web hosting companies: is Google a useful partner, or a competitor that intends to make "traditional" web hosting companies obsolete? In this case, partnering with Google offers DreamHost a way to offload many of its trouble tickets, reducing the support overhead. Is Google starting to make web hosts less necessary?"
Try to not lie and distort the truth so much.
Not only can you send any type of encryption through Gmail you want, there's friggin Thunderbird plugins that do it automatically through Gmail and IMAP.
Whatever the fuck you are doing that isn't working, well that's because you are dumb, not because it can't be done.
Go back to 4chan or somewhere else where bullshit is appreciated.
