    Nah, they want to keep the data pipe wide open. Everything that can get you to voluntarily put your data into their service they’ll leave as free as air.

    Plus, Gmail has the added bonus of being like a supermarket loyalty card: it gets their name into your browser toolbar and daily routine for bonus psychological impact.

    I doubt they’ll give any of that up for a paltry $3.99.
