Default Why Use Gmail
I always tell my friends to use gmail
because its safe, reliable & Convenient
How ?
It doesn't show your IP Address if you are the sender...
every email has a header, which tells us from whom & where the mail came from
it also shows the IP Adress of the sender, from the network & firewall it came
but not for gmail only
if you open it's header, it doesn't show these details
so, its the best

It is merely hiding those details from normal users. To the administrators, the details are available.

Why should you care whether IP is disclosed or not? Are you doing anything illegal?

Well, Preeti, you or me don't care about our IP address or location. But there was a certain member who left the forum because his location was mentioned.

Sorry to say but then that person has a long long way to go!

Maybe he doesn't know that there are ways people's address and phone numbers can be found, not that i know how that is, but technology!

He should also think that if someone knew his location what then, ip locations come according to towns/regions, and they are very big, why would someone search for someone in a big city or region!

Weird people!

The funny part was that all that was mentioned about his location was the country that he resided in. But he made a lot of hue and cry about privacy policy of this forum, infringement, etc.

thats why it said that
secrecy is over-rated, if u don't want anybody to know, don't do it.
Really, I fail to understand what sercrecy infringement happens if somebody mentions the country u are accessing the net from......... unless of course your name is Osama Bin Laden.
