General question for you Gmail users: Are you concerned at all about having your account compromised in some way and not being able to get it back ? I've read of some people who lost their accounts to hackers/hijackers and were unable to get it back, partly because they couldn't prove to a Gmail rep. that they were the legit owners ! (A similar thing happened to me when I had a Gmail account I hadn't used in some months. It wasn't hacked, but I couldn't remember the password. I contacted CS but couldn't prove to them I was the 'owner,' even though the username was the same as the domain I was hosting at G Apps !!)
I see that as one drawback of having a free account with Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail: if you're locked out of your account, it's next to impossible (in many users' experience) to get a cust. serv. rep. to get back to you, much let get your account back to you !
How well does Gmail do at filtering spam that passes through your forwards?
Are there anti-spam mechanisms on your personal email host?
The effectiveness of some IP reputation based filtering would (should) be reduced running your email through the forwards into Gmail.
Hope to visit quite often a I'm sort of an email junkie
