Google turns on "Download Gmail Archive" feature

Have you tried Fastmail? I switched to them a while ago and haven't looked back. Their web UI isn't as nice, but they have an honest business model with a much better privacy policy and migrating is pretty straightforward.

I like their web UI better than GMail. It is cleaner than GMail and much faster most of the time. It's also worth noting that they now have a beta version of a calendar (with CalDAV) support:

And they are apparently working on CardDAV.

I have a fastmail account, it is worse than gmail in these respects:

- the spam filter is not very effective. I have marked as spam a certain kind of spammy newsletters many times but they still come throught.

- No calendar or contacts you can sync to your phone.

Another anecdote here -- I also use them and like the service.
