[QUOTE="hndcvcboi, post: 560296, member: 37676"] I personally think that your mail is safer with Google than Macmail. If you use your own email program such as OS X's own Mail, Eudora Mail, Entourage or whatever, you will have your "hard copy" stored locally on your machine. Plus with Gmail you have the added benefit of a backup copy stored on their servers. If you want added protection you can archive your mail from Entourage (other programs may or may not do this) and save it to CD, DVD or even a USB memory stick. Gmail gives you the choice of using POP or IMAP mail retrieval and best of all the service is FREE. Using IMAP allows you to send/receive mail from a mobile device, web or another computer and it will sync with the rest of your mail clients. I think if you make the right choices regarding your email software you will be fine with Gmail, its not going anywhere. [/QUOTE]
