    Do I really want my commercial mail sorted and stored by G?

    I don't think so.

    1GB SPAM may be entertaining to store but I rather have Spam Assasin and MW deal with it.

    Nope. Risk/reward ratio is way out of whack.

    We don't rank email queries from Hotmail and Yahoo accounts very highly - in fact if they don't fill out our forms exactly as we want we ignore them so I guess we will do the same for Gmail

    I certainly can't think of any commercial benefit

    I think it would be fun to set up a message board on a free account and just send the messages to the same address to post them.. it could be the new wave of forums ;)

    Doubtful... would mean they can't put ads on it.
