Buit this has one HUGE disadvantage, that is so obvious that I always

how people who advise to do this can not mention it?
Scalability? Load on local server? That POP3 is unencrypted?
No. That you have to give your account credentials to Google.
This is so obvious yet people seem to miss it???
While this is true, you could, if you're that concerned about it, set up
a separate set of credentials just for google's access (and
correspondingly revoke them when you want to stop google from accessing.
To me the real issue is you're sharing your mail with google which it
will use for marketing and advertising and possibly scrape for data to
sell to their partners. Of course this is true even when you simply
forward messages to google, so it's not really a disadvantage here. At
the end of the day you've already gotten into bed with google no matter
which way you send your mail to them.
