Even being 100% sure Google won't lose my email in an accident and 99% sure they'll never duck my account, I still IMAP all my messages out of it. For that 1%, no less.

I have created a to-do list for the start of each calendar quarter. It includes things like:
* Replace toothbrush heads (electric)
* Spring clean two rooms in the house
* Download backups of all email accounts
* Download backups of all cloud web sites
* Sync external hard drives to cloud archival storage
* Download QIF and QBO of all bank accounts
It's quarterly. Worst case scenario, I lose last three months. And by doing it quarterly, I usually add to the to do list, and it's a catch-up.
Cleaning two rooms of my house take the longest time. Everything else can be done in about 1-2 hours.

or maybe a different issue where they deleted mails older than 1 year or older than 10 years or something, I forget. (you can google it. people were comparing it to going into your attic or back of your closet and throwing away old letters you'd saved.) anyway it really made me very sad. I don't use them and am unlikely to ever trust them. they really let me down.
