</div>I looked into moving to Google to avoid the hassle of running a mail<br>
server. While looking at my Google mail Sprintlink (my ISP's<br>
connection to the world) went down.<br>
<br>
No problem, I thought. I have a copy going to a backup site.<br>
Unfortunately that was Apple's mail server, also on the west coast,<br>
and also unreachable.<br>
<br>
Some things should not be remoted to a thousand miles away.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Wait, so I shouldn't use gmail because it requires a connection to the internet to send and receive email? If you want offline access to your email, a local POP client would surely suffice, no?<br>
