Lanny, if you are concerned about data loss, you could install a local imap
server (over wich you'll can do all the backups that you like) and keep it in
sync with google with imapsync (rpmforge repository).
Looks simple and straightforward to do:

Hope this helps.

Lorenzo: Thank you for the above. I will read up on that. I'm sure google backs up their gmail servers, but, having a local backup seems like a good idea to me. So far, Thunderbird seems to be very stable and is running without any issues. That's not the case with Evolution. Lanny
