Of course it is possible to have the convenience of using Google apps
without adjusting the tinfoil hat....

Just use gnupg and a mail client that supports it (Claws/Thunderbird),
and exchange keys with friends and anyone who is likely to send you a
mail with anything remotely personal....pretty much anything else I
receive is newsletter based or from companies......and I really don't
care if Google know that I buy my DVD's from Play.com and my books
from Amazon if they crawl online receipts....

I used to host my own mail server - but I use that box for general
experimentation and the downtime I created for myself was getting to
be a pain, but if you have a static box it's not too painful to
implement... either that or VPS's are pretty cheap nowadays and then
you are in complete control....
