Yes, although I trust none of them enough to give up my own IMAP
server for them.
But: Trusting Apple, with its not exactly stellar history of long-term
data services is one thing. Trusting Google, which has years and years
of reputation hosting services and email even for companies,
universities and government institutions is another. And you can even
use your own domain with it. And you can share calendars everywhere.
What's better with iCloud is the much easier setup.
