You could be right on the "serverside backup" issue but the fact is that I am 
often restricted in how much I can pay for in that regard. 

Now we are about to switch to outlook.com (NOT my choice...) and will have 25 
Gb mailbox size so I guess from now on that is no longer an issue.

Will see how that works out - and I do "keep an eye" on Trojita ;-)

Kind regards,
