Yeah I asked why I couldnt download old emails between when I started the Gmail Pro or whatever subscription and then subscription lapsed and the genius bootlickers on Support duty said "well its your fault for not continuing to pay, what do you expect?"

Of course the data is available to download if I pay, but my previous 2 years of payment didn't count. (mysterious)

Will literally never pay Google for anything ever again after that, its actually evil.

Compare that to the new service hey.com which claims you can download/export forever.

Fuck Google. Just bought a new MacBook Pro yesterday and I will never install or use any Google products on it ever.

> genius bootlickers

I guffawed. I don't understand who thinks it's a good idea to have a bunch of clueless volunteer fanboys represent your first line of support. So many forums are like this though. Microsoft is especially polluted with it last I checked. It screams "so big we're officially completely out of touch".

Forever is a very long time (and therefore a very bold claim for any SaaS app to make).
