I don't use webmail, never did. I use Gmail for personal and business. Sorry I don't have any info for your blog.

I've never had reason to think that it had been hacked, but I guess it's a possibility... So I guess the real response for me, is "No, I don't think so"

Do you mean actual webmail or any web-based email? If its the latter, then no, never used actual webmail.

Its called web based email not webmail.

My unsure vote should have been a No.

I'm annoyed by gmail's tendency to remember my pwd on public computers though...even if I don't select the checkbox and tell FF not to remember it.

For the sake of clarity I have updated the thread title. :)
