Mail is a service easily and well-supported by SES, MessageBus, and at least a dozen others... not to mention "run your own". There is nothing special about GAE's integrated mail api, and a lot of annoying limitations (my personal annoyance - no way to embed images in an email except with external hrefs). Just switch. This shouldn't take you more than a few hours.
This is an important signaling mechanism. If people stop using the service, Google may realize that the service is inadequate. Maybe they'll shut it down and reallocate dev resources to something else, or maybe they will improve the service. Either way is a win. Sorry if this seems callous, but IMHO the "send email" api is a waste of precious developer resources. There are a zillion other features I'd rather see implemented. I really don't care who sends my email. I'd kill for spatial queries.
