That's 3 strikes, and Gmail: you're out. I'm moving my domains off gmail as the primary MX.
Is there a viable alternative to gmail for conversation view and search?

The key factor to consider should be "Have they learnt from this?". The outage has happened. It won't unhappen. The question now is, will Google fix the problems that caused this, or don't they care.
Somewhat similar to a staff member who has had 3 warnings is obviously not learning.
Mutt but you'll have to type "ot" to order by thread and "l~b<word>" to search (limit) by <word> in the body of your mail.
For desktop, a new entrance is Postbox, which takes a lot of clues from GMail: http://www.postbox-inc.com
Personally, I use gnus: http://www.gnus.org
I'm sure if you take the time to properly administrate, you can run email on your own server. In my case it was too confusing, took too much effort, and I wanted to get back to doing real work.
I was merely answering lsb's question and pointing out that GMail's spam filtering isn't magic or unique. It's merely very good. A skilled mail server admin can replicate the same level of spam filtering. I'm not recommending that everyone run their own mail server.
