Sure, lets tell them to move their e-mail from Gmail....to where? To
another big mail provider (whats the point then?). Lavabit, Silent
Circle, Hushmail, Tormail? Nope. Self host their own e-mail? Hah. Most
people don't have the resources and/or the ability to do something like
that. 

There is also the matter of trust, why should I trust $MAILHOST over
Google?

What is the solution then?

I hope I got my point across.
