How can you hate something you have not used?

- Not everything has to be in your Inbox if you don't want to. Inbox
is just a label of many, and if you so wish all your email can be
filtered on arrival with different lables so your "Inbox" is empty.

- You actually don't have to delete email, you archive it and label it
(or delete the ones you really know you will not need).

The real concern with Googlemail is privacy, if they want to they
could make your life a complete misery...
