People frequently change their passwords. If your password was saved by you by mistake you can easily change your password, if you have changed who will be able to enter even though it seem that it was saved. I think your complaint doesn't seem to have so much valid and good point to stand against the Google mail.

Every email service providers say they don't monitor our emails - but eventually if they want they can monitor them. And the same case is with Gmail.

I will say this is microsoft and other email service providers who are up against Gmail because Gmail is too innovative and many users have switched on to Gmail in recent times.

SO, I see no reason for them not to up against Gmail or Google search itself.

ironic that ultra confidential US Census Bureau is permitting its employees to transmit confidential information like cell phone numbers that are not in a phone book via gmail.

Before I start I would just like to make it clear that I'm not against Gmail, I use GMail regularly..have have more than 3000messages in my Inbox.

The more messages you keep in your Inbox, the longer GMail will take to load. If you archive your email before it can take up half a page, you'll get better performance out of GMail.

Personally i have a problem with Gmail, when i was loging in i accidentally clicked save my password button. So everytime i go to GMail it have my password enterd and waiting for me to press the login button. And this is a public computer. I tried deleting my cookies and Temporary Internet files, but it didnt do the job.

Personal problem, public computer! It sounds very catchy, just like Crouching tiger, hidden dragon :-)

Anyway, coming back to the point, your password is not saved by GMail, but rather is saved by your browser. I know it can be logical for you to think cookies are the culprit, but modern browsers keep saved passwords separate from cookies and cached files. The reason for this separation is that sometimes you'd just want to clear your disk space and get rid of cookies that track your visits to websites, but you wouldn't want to have to type your passwords to all the websites that you visit. Go to your browser preferences/settings and delete the saved passwords and your password would go *poof*.
