Over the years Google has become famous for it's Holiday Logos. Well it looks as though Gmail will follow in the tradition. Also, if you look today (Thanksgiving Day 2004), the Gmail team included some verbiage to go along with the logo.

As I have said before, I love Gmail. I still use a Yahoo web based email account too that I check about once a week (painfully), but only because there are a few folks who email me at that account. I have to give a huge thumbs up to Gmail for not only allowing forwarding of email to any other account but also allowing POP access to the account. Meaning if you wanted (I do not), you could download your email to your computer.

There is one and only one reason Yahoo and many others do not allow forwarding and downloading of email that belongs to you, they fear you will forward your email and or download it and never again login to your Yahoo account at their website. Gmail has no worries about this, because quite frankly even being only a beta, it easily outshines all the others.
