Jim and list,
I use a GMail account as an off-network and troubleshooting email address for
over four years and I have never had any messages disappear. I'm using 400 MB
of their storage space to boot. Of course I do back it up, even though nothing
stored there is of any significant value to me.
It has always been my firm belief that everyone should backup their own data
unless they are paying someone else to do it. Even then I would still back it
up myself occasionally.
I have been very happy with gmail and have recommended it to quite a few
people without receiving any complaints back from them.
