Not at all. That's my point. And it seemed to be
what Brick was expressing. If you pay for it
it's real email. If you use gmail then it's their
email. As your email address here demonstrates,
you don't care about Google storing and reading
your private correspondence. Many people
don't. But that doesn't mean real email is a
thing of the past.


Lol...another wrong assumption = The email in the posting properties.
One would have to actually use that valid gmail posting address for
Google to store and read anything of mine. If I ever decide to send
an email from that address I'll logon and let you know, you can be the
first recipient. Or, maybe you can send me one, let me know, I'll try
to log on prior to the filter that Deletes all incoming.

If I was really concerned about it I could register a domain name, start
up my own IMAP mail server, and happily send and receive email to my very
own Thunderbird client. But of course that would only secure my end from
prying. Anyone sending or receiving email from me would have to do the
same, or use one of the common portals like gmail or yahoo or etc., etc.,
etc., and it would still be subject to being scanned by third parties.
The only way to fully eliminate that would be to have all my mail
encrypted, which would work for the few people I correspond with, but at
the current time would be totally unworkable for the majority of the
emails I receive.
