RE: mail2web

Nobody does anything for nothing.  If they let you use that service for
free they are getting something for it.  Either they are inundating you
with ads or they are datamining your activity, or both.  I bet if you
read the fine print of the AUP both are allowed and agreed to.  Scarier
than the fact that they might be harvesting your address, you also gave
them your password.  Think about that..
