There are cases where people lost access to Gmail instantly because of false accusations or idendity theft. You have to prepare *now* for not losing yous emails if you don't synchronize often. > At worst you'd lose your email address (although if you register a > domain name then you can keep your email address and still use > gmail for as long as it's there and some other provider later). You'll lose some more. At least you are going to lose your labels AFAIR. > On the privacy point, you can send encrypted data via non-secure > email providers. But that's even more pain in the a**. Besides the point that you'll lose search functionality on Gmail, you have to find a reliable system that supports you with de- and encryption. Then you have to trust those tools which are often browser-based. I would not trust web-browser-modules and web-browsers at all. Those tools will never see my private GnuPG key. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
