Funny you should have say that. I recently acquired a Google Mail
account. It allows me to store 1 GB of prior, threaded "conversations"
on any subject. In essence, it lets me build a mini-archive of the
Fedora Core List and of every other list that I'm on. Sure,
housecleaning becomes a chore (figuring out what conversations you want
to keep, backing them up to your own CD, etc., etc., etc.). But it does
make archived e-mail easier to manage all around. And best of all, it's
free of charge, totally independent of your ISP, you can set your e-mail
addresses to all your correspondents once and for all, and it has its
own POP and SMTP servers--no "forwarding" required. Why *not* use it?

How did you get the Gmail account? For what I understand it is still
unavailable. I tried to obtain an account from already one month ago to open
a mail account in my Linux box., an old Cyrix 233 running FC 3. My intention
is to obtain enough experience in linux with that old box and migrate my
personal win98 box to Linux after that. I have not enough room in the hd of
my personal box for a dual installation.
If you have some information about how to get a Gmail account I will greatly
appreciate it.

Julian.
