As long as I can get the data back out of it, I think it could be a good thing for me to use. Can Tbird use Google Contacts? I think maybe it can. By the way, I use gmail, but I also have *all* of my mail on my GNU/Linux box and use gmail's SMTP server and fetchmail. It's like I'm doing old-school sendmail but I'm not. If Google goes away, I still have my mail (but I guess they'd have a copy too). Mike
