Email doesn’t disappear

Assuming I'm using IMAP, I still have to trust my mail provider, be it Fastmail or anyone else, right?

Yes, but if you dont, you always have the option to download a local copy of your mailbox. This is how I use email. I use fetchmail to deliver mail to a local mailbox on my hard drive. I don't delete it from the online mailbox, in case I want to access it from the web, but I have my local copy in case the online provider either goes away or does something else with it.

Yeah, but I have the option to download locally a copy of the Facebook Mail page in my Web browser too.
