Custom webmail recommendations (to switch from gmail)

You can use gmail and outlook (not sure about yahoo) without storing the data with them... well ostensibly.  I don't *think* that they store in the case of IMAP... but it does pass through them, so...

With IMAP you sync the local message store with the server rather than simply download a message. So all your messages and folders get sync-replicated. If you do something using the web interface (send a message/create a new folder, etc.), the next time you go in with a client like Outlook those changes will appear and be stored locally. It goes in the opposite direction too. Anything you do in your local mail client will appear next time you log in using the webmail interface.

I am managing the email better with the outlook these days. I tried fastmail and older eudoramail and they were not bad compared to gmail.
