There's lots of good reasons for someone wanting to download their own address book from a free mail service: The two most pressing being able to move your email presence to your own domain (*) and having a backup. I can't think of any good reason for accusing someone who simply wants to move their own data to a different platform of wanting to spam. Bruce (*) I've raved at length elsewhere about how short-sighted it is to use ISP emails for business purposes and free email is totally unprofessional (Unless your profession is being the son of a former Nigerian president).

I'm not entirely proud of fighting vague and irrational fear of the unknown by invoking vague and irrational fear of the unknown, but I think it did make an impression. Petréa Mitchell
