You think its crazy in you wish you (and everyone else) had a viable alternative? Or, you think its crazy in that you do something else that others don't do?
If the latter, what do you do?
- tedunangst 10y agoI have tar files of old maildirs, but they're encrypted and backed up and not readily accessible. My regular mail client has access to a smaller set of mails. Of course this requires an email setup that allows such easy bulk operations, which gmail isn't really.

Each feature we add for our own convenience makes a more tempting prize for a potential adversary. Edit: Whether or not a particular feature/behaviour is reasonable or crazy depends entirely on the level of threat.
