Gmail backup, passively without POP

You can configure gmail to deliver your mail (in addition to the usual gmail box) to another email account of your choosing, anywhere. Thus you get a continuously updated backup without having to run a POP client like Thunderbird. I've been doing this, works perfectly.

With google, you get (more than) you pay for, so all you whingeing wankers can put the dummy back in your pouting pie-holes.
