Hi,
this discussion on security, and so one wants their own mail server,
has missed one point, which obliviates any of the preceeding issues.
Search engines keep a track of your requests, so they can provide links
more in tune with what you are, and so the advertising on the pages can
can be adjusted to better suit your profile.
Thus, if you only search for mac related things, the mac related links will
be more likely to be found on the first page.
Now, if I frequently search for torrents, it is not going to be good if
the search
engine is owned by Time Warner.
Thus, my view is that security of your email store is important, but it
is not the
big picture. The big picture is the search engine, and who owns it.
Cheers,
Derek.
