I know that there are services that take your mail and scan it and send it to you, but that’s not free. I want to give up my privacy for free services! Hooray.
Wow. This thing really hasn’t changed over 5 years. It’s still got this 90s era color/table/frame scheme, and just… doesn’t sit right in terms of design. It’s not aging well.
Why do I bring this up? I’m just checking if I have to forward my UIUC student account to a new address. I just got an email address with NCSA, and so I need to make sure that all is right in my little electronic world.
Thank goodness I made the switch to Gmail all those years ago… September 9th 2005 was when I got my first piece of email. The funny thing is, I stopped backing up my emails on a hard drive because of the simple fact that Gmail does it all so very well. And because of this, there’s absolutely no way I can use any other email provider (unless Gmail decides to create an exporter of some sort).
Hooray for vendor lockdown… The same goes for Google Reader, where there are just mountains of data on what I’ve read in the past and what I’ve starred: is there any solution out there that will let me export data out?
