There's a reason giant companies like Google, Yahoo, AOL, Facebook and Microsoft offer free email. It's because they make a lot of money off of the content of your messages. Every time you receive an email these companies comb through the content looking for information they can sell to advertisers and data aggregators.
The New York Times reported it's a much more serious privacy problem than it may first appear:
"Whether you can obtain a job, credit or insurance can be based on your digital dossier — and you may never know why you’ve been turned down."
Information contained in your emails is purchased by Data Aggregation companies and used by Law Enforcement and government agencies, credit bureaus and employers to pry into your life.
"Your application for credit could be declined not on the basis of your own finances or credit history, but on the basis of aggregate (online) data" collected and sold by these companies.
"...the online advertising company NebuAd contracted with six Internet service providers to install hardware on their networks that monitored users' Internet activities (including webmail), and transmitted that data to NebuAd's servers for analysis and use in marketing. For an average of six months, NebuAd copied every email, Web search or purchase that some 400,000 people sent over the Internet." New York Times
LAW ENFORCEMENT: Another problem with free webmail services is they keep copies of mail , including deleted messages, for an undisclosed period of time - that may range up to several years. You think your messages have been deleted and they're gone, but they're not. They're only gone from your view, but they're safely stored on the webmail providers' servers for an undisclosed period of time.
 Should the government or any law enforcement agency demand that they produce those records, they will. And they may end up producing emails you deleted six months or even two years ago. You don't have to be involved in a crime to be worried about this. The government can always find ways to make it look like you're guilty of something whenever they can get their hands on enough information about you.
Like any other email service, if we receive a subpoena to turn over our records, we will. But, there won't be much to see in our records! That's because when you transfer your mail from our servers to your computer, it is instantly deleted from our servers. The only messages that may be saved would be in our nightly backups, which would include messages you receive late at night after you turn your computer off. Our backups start at 4:00 a.m. Eastern time each morning.
But even those few messages saved in the backups will be completely deleted from our system at 4:00 a.m. every Monday morning.
NOTHING stays on our system for more than one week. If the government subpoenas our records, that's fine. They'll get no more than a week's worth of info - at most. The vast majority of your messages will not even be included in the nightly backups because you will have already downloaded them to your computer, which automatically and instantly deletes them from ours.
