petergh,

I used to use Gmail even for semi-serious mail, and what made me move was that Gmail would sometimes discard good emails which I wanted to receive completely silently - no notification, nothing in the spam folder.

I never did the research to try to find out which emails were being rejected; for all I know, it may have been some problem with authentifications, though the emails involved were from reputable sources who used reputable providers.

Good luck.
David.
