I'm with Paul on the "makes sense" to run your own personal mail server
- for me, and others who _can_ run their own mail server.  For those 
who can't, public mail servers are all "scary".  Gmail is no more scary
than hotmail, yahoo, msn, verizon, earthlink, or any of a billion other
mail systems on the 'Net.


I don't think most people think it's scary at all. Most people don't
really care what might happen to their email before they get it, just as
long as they get it. It's another variation on "So what if someone hacks
my computer, there's nothing important on it."
