Good idea. Presumably you can get the same result with any email account if
you simply send email messages to yourself and have your mail settings  set
to leave mail messages on server for a few days. You can then download it
from any computer .

> I keep coming back to the relatively low-tech note-taking solution called
email. All of my email accounts are configured as IMAP or Exchange and are
set to push changes automatically, thus syncing between whichever device I'm
working on and whichever server is hosting that account and then propagating
out to my various devices. I can quickly open the mail client on any
platform, create a new mail message, enter text etc, and the message will
show up in my drafts folder for me to edit or copy or whatever anywhere I
go.

> This isn't to say I don't use dropbox and google drive and other storage &
syncing services when I need to create and sync complex documents, but for
basic note-taking I now reflexively reach for email, probably because I'm so
familiar and comfortable with the various email clients and the reliability
and low-overhead required for modern email storage and syncing.

Bryan
