And who's to say that any email on any server isn't archived for who
knows how long... Unless you have total control of both the incoming
and outgoing mail server, and all points in transit (either directly
or by the use of encryption) anybody technically could have a copy of
any email sent through their system.

Going by Google's track record I'd trust them far more than most ISPs I've used.
