I think so too- I'd rather be safe than sorry anyway. > > I would tell you to set up BYU email forwarding so that you wouldn't > have to change your accounts at all, but I just remembered that BYU > locks down your account while you are on your mission.

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...:) > Like He > suggested though, you could forward all the mail you want to save to > your Gmail account.

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.
