It's not for the money, I can think of more effective ways I can spend my time to save money. My reason is that I don't like the feeling of having these very personal conversations being stored on the harddisks of google. I might trust google right now with my email but when I no longer do they will still have those files and there will be nothing I can do to completely make sure they delete them.

- nathanb 10y agoThis is an excellent point. Your communication is only as secure as the weakest endpoint (in the same vein, perhaps your correspondents might be of the opposing viewpoint and might feel weird about their personal mails being stored by someone who's rolling his own IT and security).

- rakoo 10y agoSo you need to encrypt your communications, getting off Google won't change anything. Use GMail as a dumb transport pipe !
