Am I the last person on Earth that does NOT want their personal information in "The Cloud"? I still use my ISP's pop server account. I still use a stand alone Outlook 2003. I can't synch it with my android phone without having all my contacts and calendar entries float up to the cloud.

I don't want Google to know when I go see my cardiologist or urologist; that I even have a cardiologist or urologist just so they can market FloMax to me.

Somebody help me!

What about that isn't "the cloud"? Privacy is important, there's no argument about that. Since advertisement was also mentioned, notable email providers will take user privacy seriously. However, since their service is offered free of charge and as there seems to be a widespread assumption that everything on the internet is supposed to be free, the display of advertisement should be bearable, especially since one prominent email provider using this approach - who doesn't show advertisements on the native mobile application by the way - states that the content of emails is being processed by algorithms, not human beings. Said provider, Google's Gmail, already offers upgrading one's account with more storage space. If this subscription, provided there is demand, would be extended in such a way that it would turn off the advertisement, it would seem like a promising offering.
