Just been thinking.
Don't you think Gmail really ripped off the PHP Mailer logo with the M outlined onto the envelope thing?
I respect the dudes that made PHP Mailer, they should sue Google for that, they are too rich as it is
What you reckon?

Uh, no.
For one thing, its a little different, and its not the only place to do that.
But more importantly, to sue for it, the PHPMailer folks have to have a trademark on that image. To get a trademark, they need to be the only people to have done so. Further, they have to be very specific about the angles and design - since there is a substantial difference in the middle of it, they'd have to put up an active defense. Something the free phpmailer probably couldn't do.
Finally, it doesn't matter much.. phpmailer has better things they could be focusing on.
