I was/am a bit wary of using that method since who knows one day gmail might not allow it, but backing up email like this seems good.

Thanks for the free MediaMonkey Gold! I have been using GMAIL to backup emails for several customers. Typically their PC crashes or the disc fails and they have all their emails in Outlook Express. Back ups? What are they? When (if) I get their Outlook Express files back from the damaged disc I then upload all their old emails to GMAIL. Then set it up to read their existing POP3 account(s) without deleting those messages. Now they can still use Outlook Express at home. AND see all their old, and new, emails in GMAIL - from the office. See these guides: http://www.labnol.org/internet/email/export-outlook-email-to-gmail-pst-backup/1938/ http://mail.google.com/mail/help/whatsnew_getmail.html NOTE Make sure you have a good secure GMAIL password.
