Good point and this is one of the why I pay the ~$15-20/yr to host my own domain and email addresses. It looks more professional and I eliminate the possibility of someone taking the email address away from me (or changing it). Of course no one should send anything over email that they wouldn't put on a postcard so message "security" is not really an issue when it comes to email.

Backing up 200gb worth of data using a 1mbps upload speed at maximum theoretical speeds under ideal conditions, it would take
19 days to complete the transfer. In reality it would take even longer, if it was even possible for the two computers to complete the transfer without timing out.

I disagree that encryption nullifies the issue. It reduces it, sure, but there are thousands of types of encryption techniques; some being far superior than others.
