Use an Online Email Service for Searching and Saving Your Email

Trying to dig out an old, remote email from somewhere in the recesses of your inbox? Most email clients, such as Outlook, Eudora, or Lotus Notes, offer some kind of search mechanism to help you out, but if your computer breaks or is stolen then you'll lose your ability to search through your old email lists forever. Consider migrating to a completely online email service, such as Google's GMail or YahooMail. Both offer gigabytes of space, great search support, and the ability to upload all of your old mail. And both of those companies are going to do a better job backing up your email than you ever did. In the dawning age of ubiquitous computing, if you want your old emails to be safe and searchable forever, make the switch, and you'll even gain the ability to access them from everywhere, and not just while sitting in front of your own computer.
