Telus Gmail account when I quit being a customer
Since my Telus email is now with Google gmail, a free service, will Telus be a decent corporate citizen and allow my Telus email account to continue after I am no longer a Telus customer or do they t...
Your Telus email service is not free to Telus. They pay Google to run it. Your telus.net email address is not owned by Google, it's owned by Telus. It's not the same as a gmail account.
I very much doubt Telus is paying any real $ for gmail, they will be providing your data to Google in exchange which is much more valuable to google than a $ or a few $ Telus might pay for a gmail account.
Regardless I'm not asking Telus to maintain my account just transfer it to gmail.

Hosting email for large enterprises is big business for Google for which they charge accordingly. Many large corporations use it and there's no way they would if Google mined the data.

That's not now email works. The domain name following the @ indicates where email is supposed to be routed. All email addresses with Anonymous.net will go to the hosting server for Telus. They can't just pick your email address out and route it somewhere else.
