I would doubt that Google is aware that this email provider (and I use that term loosely) exists. They did talk big about providing unlimited storage - and then proceeded to delete the accounts of anyone that sent a simple email. I was never involved with the site that is blamed for the “attack” (again, loosely, as the admin of the YGP site did ENCOURAGE people - challenge them even - to send and receive as much as they could in the now-defunct forum). The admin also regularly READS the emails in each account and deletes them on a whim. Anything that she doesnt want to have in there, she will remove. I cannot imagine a greater violation of privacy than to have some random human sitting there reading my correspondence that may well have private information including account information and other personal data. YGP forbids its users to send/receive email to/from Gmail account holders. That is purely childish. They are trying to become infamous at the hands of a giant who could not care less about their little parasite of a “service". People did not ABUSE YGP because they LIKE Gmail better - they tried using the service as they were challenged to by the admin. Perhaps it is the admin who encouraged this JUST so that Gmail could be blamed (big name = big bandwagon to jump on) and then removed the forum so the evidence of their actions could not be seen by the general public. The admin of YGP called the users of the service “assholes” repeatedly (I do have an email from said admin to prove this - and it was not me she was referring to in this email - though she probably will now). Now what kind of customer service is that? Is that the new face of dotcom service? Somehow I cannot imagine ANY of the big cheese at Google calling their end-users “assholes", especially not in public forums or in emails sent to other clients. In the end. my point is simply that YouveGotPost designed its own demise, NOT Google. If you enjoy having your emails read by a bitter woman and randomly deleted (cant have evidence of a conversation between said admin and a client now can you?)sign up today. I couldnt tell you what the storage is currently at with YGP as emails never seem to stick around long enough to build up.
