Hey All,<p>I'm planning to switch from an @gmail.com address to an @<myname>.com address.<p>The purpose of the switch is to use a better email address. Beyond that, I'm also concerned with organization/searchability, travel-friendly access, privacy, and reliability.<p>I have a couple of choices for email providers: self-hosted or Google Mail.<p>I like the idea of having the privacy and security self-hosting offers, but I've never set up a mail server before and I don't know what options are out there. Is any self-hosted solution anywhere near Google's UX and ease of use? Or is Google so far ahead of the competition with its labels and search that it's not worth self-hosting? What have you chosen in this situation?<p>In addition to choosing a mail server, I'll need to migrate several tens of thousands of emails accumulated over several years. I believe this is possible manually via IMAP, but it sounds slow and tedious. As in, more-than-a-day slow and tedious. There are services that can migrate emails. The best-seeming one I've heard of is YippieMove -- http://www.yippiemove.com/<p>Has anyone here used YippieMove to either migrate from Gmail to Gmail, or from Gmail to self-hosted email? Does it do what it says on the tin? What about security? It's bad enough that Google has access to all of my messages -- I'd prefer that random employees of another company not read them, too. What kind of security/privacy assurances can YippieMove or others provide? What kind of precautions can one take prior to using a service like this?<p>Any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
