Illegal Gmail Activities? Not Allowed, Duh!

- Keep the mail solution legal

By: Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor

Although it's no big deal, I want you to stay on the safe side: avoid doing illegal Gmail activities because you might get your account banned. For example, it was reported that some of
the users are selling the Gmail invites even if there is no reason to do this anymore. However, in the past, when Gmail was only a private beta technology, some of the users who were already registered members for the product, obtained their 100 invites and tried to make some money by selling them. That's why the Mountain View company strictly sustains that you're not allowed to do that and, as soon as they are informed about this kind of actions, they will take appropriate action.

"Google does not condone the auction, sale, or trade of Gmail invitations, and we do not encourage those interested in Gmail to purchase or exchange items for them. It is a violation of the Gmail Program Policies to sell or auction established Gmail accounts. When we are notified of such transactions, we investigate and take appropriate action if there is a violation of the Gmail Terms of Use," Google sustains about this matter.

Moreover, the Gmail Program Policies sustain that you are not allowed to "sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit for any unauthorized commercial purpose or transfer any Gmail account." Generally, you are encouraged to avoid promoting or encouraging illegal activity concerning the Google mail technology.

Gmail has always been a very attractive solution and this due to its offering. When it was first released in April 2004, Gmail attracted a considerable number of consumers because it offered 1GB of storage size, the largest capacity ever implemented into an email service at that time. Then, time passed by and it evolved, being now described as the most secure product because it bundles excellent spam filters and 2.8 GB size. Back in February, Google upgraded Gmail and made it a public beta.
