Amos Separate paranoia from privacy. While I am skeptical that Google can afford to make use of privacy information or allow it to leak - if I were working on a startup that threatens search engines - I might also setup a private email system somewhere.
FWIW - it is standard operating procedure these days for a customer to insist you use their corporate email. I have a contract with a US corp. and they insist we use their corporate (hosted Exchange) email system It helps them monitor outgoing content for data leakage.

And have Google have the right to do whatever they want with your business e-mail. Maybe you don't care but I know someone who's startup might interest Google and therefore he doesn't even use his Gmail account for anythinge relating to his work ( e.g. he has a contract with Microfost. Other than that - I agree that the Google application are fantastic (I like the option to setup a location for an event and have it mapped with Google maps :)... Cheers, --Amos
