IMAP is great. I am now having all my email address forward to Gmail and then use the Gmail app on iOS. The more that is in the cloud, the happier I am

  And the more that is in the cloud, the happier the NSA are too. It's win-win!

    Don't they consider email left on the server after a period of time to be abandoned and therefore they are able to read the contents 'legally'?

      Email stored for less than 180 days requires a search warrant to access. But... email which is opened may be considered to be on the server "solely for the purpose of providing storage or computer processing services", in which case a court order (subpeona, etc) is required. Court orders are easier to get than search warrants. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored_Communications_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored_Communications_Act At the end of the day, if you have information that you truly want to remain private, it cannot be turned over to a third party and should remain in your home.
