Salaam.
Google/Gmail has various calendars like "Islamic Holidays", "Phases of the Moon", etc.
Is it safe to use them? Are they made by Google itself? If not, does that mean they can hack into our system?

(Gmail -> Calendar -> Settings -> Browse interesting calendars)


Also, does Yahoo have such calendars?

Salams,

My experience with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc... is not much good.

After time, I realized that they are searching even inside the mails. For instance, now, I will start a Master in Environment, and I was asking for information by mail to the University for 2 weeks.

The mail I used, is only for really close friends, family and work matters, because all my information is there... well, after few days, I started receiving I don't know how many offers about different Masters and Environmental courses... from webpages I didn't know, so... what I think is that Yahoo is sending me the information and earning money.

I suppose that the personal mails are not interesting for them, but who knows what may happens.

Really, I will be more careful with my e-mails, and I suggest you to do so.

Regards,
Patricia
