There are legitimate privacy concerns about using services such as
Gmail, which means that many people choose not to use them as their main
e-mail account.

But that doesn't mean you can't have one and use it for purposes you
consider not to be sensitive. For example, if you're just testing an
e-mail server, all "they" can tell is that you might have some sort of
connection with that server.

I use my Gmail account for Fedora lists -- it's no secret that I'm on
this list!

In any case, in most countries, your online activities can be monitored
and all e-mails logged by court order anyway.
