I like the idea - but please do not confuse this with security. While the canary might be activated, all of your genuine information has also been compromised.

I have thought about the security issues with gmail, especially for mobile devices (they can be easily stolen). It would be really REALLY great if Google offered several account access levels - I could use a 'read only' account for my mobile device, which could also only give me access to the last 1 hour of emails for example. and seperate account access for use with 3rd party services (facebook, gtalk apps etc)

Following on from the idea of Google offering account access for different security levels, would also be great if you could label an email as 'bank', 'money' or 'personal' and these emails, photos and calendar items would only be visible with full account access - so effectively you could associate a particular email label to a 'security' or 'access' level. I would DEFINATELY use a feature like this.
