Because it's been flaky lately, Jerry. At first, I thought it was Apple
mail, but looking a little deeper, the signs pointed to gmail. Stuff's
simply gone missing. File it, and, now and then, it disappears.
Looking on the server, it's still gone. The culprit's not Apple. That
should *never* happen. It appears similar stuff's happened to other
folk. It looks as though google is hiding behind the fact that it's
free to get careless. That's bad.
If you depend on email, you can't trust it to a company that doesn't
care about getting it right 99.999% of the time. I'm retired, so email
reliability isn't critical, but, still, I don't want to have to start
spending time taking backup measures just in case my mail provider's
likely to lose stuff now and then.
