Out of interest, what does this mean for your mail archive in your gmail account?
I’ve got 1.6GB of mail that I’ve accumulated over the past few years - and while I definitely don’t need the majority of the stuff there, it’s very handy being able to quickly track down items that I do want - from pretty much anywhere. And it’s the kind of thing that would dissuade me from changing providers.

Damn clever move, Google…

The premium edition (which I had for three days until Google cancelled it, but that’s for a separate whinge) comes with a ‘mail migration’ setting, which allows you to pull the lot from Gmail over to your new service. My 2 meg took about a day to pull over, but it’s all at Google’s end.

I guess you could, for this, get the premium edition for 10 days, migrate your mail over, and then cancel the 30-day free trial.
