So far Microsoft is doing everything right with Outlook. If I didn't already have a gmail address I would easily prefer Outlook over gmail.

Still "password can't be longer than 16 characters".

you can redirect it to Outlook. :)

Sorry for butting in but I've recently done this, the new Gmail compose "experience" was the final straw.

I'm happy - the only thing that is a bit weird is I'll sometimes get spam mails duplicated arriving at my outlook.com address. Never with "normal" mails only the obvious spam.

Does anyone know of an easy way to extract all my mails from Gmail? I'd like to dump them in the filesystem and then kill my Google account.

I've used gmvault[1] before, and it works pretty well at preserving labels and playing nice with Gmail's specific idioms not common among other IMAP providers.
