I'm using Gmail. Should I be worried?

I doubt Google would kill Gmail outright but they might go the Twitter route and remove generic IMAP access. I would be surprised if IMAP was still an option after the next 2-3 years.
I could see them pulling the ability to pull in your own POP/IMAP accounts into Gmail - to force more folks to use Apps.
You've reminded me to back up my email.
