Jon,

I have three comments on this outstanding writeup:

1. First, I happen to agree with all your conclusions.

2. Secondly, maybe I am quite paranoic, but I have a very big problem in my mind in putting my contacts, calendar, and email into the mailbox of a company that defines itself as a search engine and declares it can do anything with any data it has in its servers.

3. Last, I would like to hear about what problems you have in opening many mailboxes in your Outlook. I have 4 boxes open all the time (one corporate, two from PocketPCFreak, and one from home - none of them is in POP3 mode, all in Exchange mode, you can do it as long as they are in the same server), and the only inconvenient is that it is a little slower than when I have only one.

Best regards,

Helio
