Hurro,
 
I'd have to echo this, with my own customers, my 'real' job and my private 
email.
 
Folks with email hosted with big cloud providers (google, rackspace and 
Microsoft Azure) all had their email. In-house and small ISP's locally had 
issues or no email at all after 222.  In the weeks after February I shifted 
just under a Tb of email into the cloud across eight companies. It's a 
no-brainer really, although I do wonder about commercial businesses hosting 
their mail with (free) gmail rather than in google apps, but that's a whole 
other discussion.
 
I shifted my own email to rackspace about a year ago, give or take.
 
Having my own IMAP on a colo when I was hosting and then at home for years I 
would not go back to hosting my own email again.  It's  great from a geek 
bragging point of view, but at the end of the day I want to use email, not 
fiddle with it.
 
Cheers, Me.

Actually I have run a mail server (behind a fixed IP adsl connection)
and i have also used googgle apps for my present work domain and have
to say that I was more likely to have connectivity with gmail/google
than with the previous setup.

Even in the aftermath of the 22/2 earthquake my data connection stayed
up on my phone, and I had email (both my work domain and this gmail
account).
