Anyone who stores critical email on a free service gets no sympathy from
me if they lose anything. That said, I've only heard a few horror
stories of services losing all of someone's email (I think it was
hotmail, many years ago, some woman used it exclusively for her business
email and lost like 7 years worth of critical emails).

They're actually pretty reliable... but for me its more the privacy (or
lack thereof) issue that keeps me from using them more...
