Personally, I don't see a reason to use gmail if you
don't use the web interface.
A decent free email provider, POP / IMAP, more than seven GB of
storage, and one can be pretty sure that they'll be there tomorrow.
Because the company's whole reason for being is data mining.
I don't deny that there is a very good reason *not* to use Gmail. I do
often feel a bit queasy for using it, and I sometimes contemplate
switching. My point was merely a retort to the OP's comment that he
"[doesn't] see a reason to use gmail if you don't use the web
interface." He obviously isn't concerned the privacy issue you
mention, and he does indeed use Gmail.
I did notice that implicit point.
Which is why if you want privacy *and* address independence, you
need to spend the extra effort to get a dynamic DNS address and run
your own IMAPS server, and probably a web server, too, with
squirrelmail.
