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.
That's a good one - often heard from "managers" and "leaders". I can tell what M$/Gockle is going to say in their defense :)
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).
In Austria academia started its demise with "Schüssel 1" ~ 25 years ago. But this lamento is long and well known and all the same all over the world. When I was in highschool we had a lecture of a bright person over innovation and economy cycles - that was ~ 1984. He said based on historic data the next up-cycle will reach its climax in ~ 20-25 years due to an invention not yet known followed by the next anitclimax in ~ 50 years. Man, what we laughed about that crude theory - "an unknown invention? How could that be?". And now we are there nearing the next anitclimax and history proofes again that men don't learn from history.
