I was always wondering why some of my friends were recommending substandard samsung products and accusing me of being an Apple fanboy when I promoted LG products (I have an LG android phone).
My "friends" (not IRL ones) are probably paid Samsung shills.
Google does not sell info to advertisers. Google sells adverts based on your info. If you are going to bash Google, then at least get your damn facts straight!
"Google scans your e-mail and sells that info to advertisers. Even when you pay for it. Scary shit. Yahoo for business doesn't do this."
Even though you're wrong, if they scan business mails of let's say paper-cup manufacturers, do you think showing them ads for paper-cups from another firm will generate many sales?
I think Google makes it difficult and non-standard like this to make things difficult.
I moved away from GMail because I simply don't trust Google anymore. It was a bitch to reorganize my mail and downloading the entire thing over imap just wasn't working without freezing my clients (and I only had 2gb of mail).
POP3 worked perfectly, but I got everything that was in every folder. I was smart enough to empty my trash first!:)
You might want to read the summary again. Google already had the data. They shipped it to Yahoo, and Yahoo bungled it up.
Actually, this is Google's fault
I was migrating away from Google using POP3 to download my mail messages off their server. IMAP had been too slow with thunderbird and evolution.
When it was done, I noticed that pop3 sends me my sent mail.

You obviously have no clue of how it works
Yay first post

And when the FBI/CIA/DHS and countless other Intelligence agencies read your mail in realtime cause your a dumbass using IMAP - its just you to blame
