Trevor, on the big picture in so few words my sense is you absolutely nailed it!

I share your pain... I administer an email-heavy system and the world is much too aggressive with their BL's. The more concentrated email gets (think gmail) the worse it gets. (My 2c.)
First, I would like to thank you and several others for offering solutions to Gerald's email problems that major interests such as google/gmail have not only no interest in correcting the problems but as you point out are aggressively ratcheting up the situation through a well greased Catch-22 marketing plan that is also strategically heavily levered whereby google/gmail gains access to a market many times larger than its direct clientele.
In short, though the pot is clearly warming up and small wonder why so many users are resistant to switch, to repeat, my thanks to all of you for making Gerald's task a little easier!
Might it be time to set up a range of low-cost to no-cost how-to options from the small time email user with no more than a domain name with a host email service to the more complex as mentioned here?
As well as proactively seeding interests so that the open sourced non-gmail providers see the need for some serious upgrading and not leave improvement options like labels in lieu of folders only to google?
