unless you have your own ISP and mailservers, your email is being stored on
someones pop server, at least until you download it, and often for 3-5 days
after that.
and then there are email volume backups, legal in some countries.

Well let me help. I don't use gmail or any other hosted mail
because I prefer not to have my mail stored on anyone's
hard drive but my own.
It is often said that, "Google doesn't live in our world, we
live in theirs," but despite my admiration for Google I don't
agree to that.

Well, it's free, and reading 313 in gmail thread format is superior by
far to both digest and individual messages. I don't know if gmail's
still going by invite, but I have 99 if anyone wants one. I am a big
advocate of reading 313 in gmail, personally.
i cant imagine why anyone would use anything other than gmail at this
point. its better than all other freemails, and its better than the
stuff hosted by peoples' own domains as well. with gmail chat and
reader all part of it, its the bomb.
