Personally, I just like winning prizes. My own self-hosted email
has several times more storage than gmail will offer... I also insert my
mail into a mysql database and have several custom utilities for
searching that... Keeping mail in mysql is really nice
when it comes time to find out what someone said $n years ago,
or how much traffic I get from SLUG in a week.
