I think so too- I'd rather be safe than sorry anyway.

Frankly, I don't want to receive email from my byu account while I'm out
there.  Not that I don't like you guys- I am just only supposed to get mail
from the family (at least in my mission- anyone who corresponded with their
sweethearts, I'm not calling you evil...:)

I'll have to check if Gmail does that- a main feature is that I can
"archive" instead of delete, so I don't think (hope not) they do.  Thanks
for the comments!
