I use pobox.com's paid service. Email is their business. I run Postfix
locally using the Pobox server as a smarthost and use Fetchmail to
download my mail every five minutes. Best of both worlds, and I have my
own domain so that I can easily relocate to another service with minimal
disruption. I don't want to rely on a promotional giveaway from an
advertising agency for an important service like email.

Perhaps, but Google is an advertising agency and they are giving away the
service you are using. The revenue per user that they get by extracting
marketable data from their user's emails has to be slim, and that has to
pay those engineers. How is their support? How quickly do they respond
to trouble reports?
And, of course, you have no contract with Google.
