[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1075863, member: 46727"] You're not being paranoid. I don't have any sure answers either, however, it does seem like you are maintaining good backups of all your email. To be honest, I use GMail IMAP and their on line storage but I don't favor it (or trust it) as my only means of backup. I too maintain separate local storage. I don't have as much to store as you do but it's significant enough to require a large amount of space that I could use for something else. What I've been doing lately - is when I've accumulated enough mail or other clutter, I burn it to a DVD, label it and store it away. DVD media is so inexpensive nowadays that it can be used for storage. One of these days when Blue Ray comes down in price, I may spring for a burner. :) Anyway, just my thoughts. Your situation and needs are what's going to dictate the path you need to follow. Regards. [/QUOTE]
