Oh, and handing the mail over to Google is not something that
accomplishes anything that any sane person would want to have.
Google, for all its "want-some-candy-little-girl?" freebies, is
evil.
I'm at the UW, which invented the e-mail client pine, contributed to
IMAP and other achievements. Now they have handed everything over to
google and MS. Reason: if there is a lawsuit, google and MS will come
up with the legal means.

A protection racket, but who protects you from the racketeers enforcement
flunkies?
It's not that google and MS would defend the UW, it's more like those
companies have the resources to protect themselves. So for example if
there is a data leak, the UW could simply say it's google/MS fault. It's
about the UW outsourcing the responsibility (mostly because of the school
of medicine with its complicated legal policies). How that would play out
in real life, I don't know. I'm just stunned how academia used to be the
place of innovation and now they can't even run an e-mail server (or at
least the legal implications would make it complicated).
