Thanks kijin, janusz and George for the responses.
It seems that there won't be any problems with using my university forwarding and SMTP services.

Fortunately, I'm paranoid about everything!
The wording of the privacy policy is such that it isn't entirely clear that it only refers to websites that are linked to on the PolarisMail website.
But back to the email... I'm not sure if I've found out how I will be able to sync contacts between a Linux desktop and PolarisMail. I did find a Thunderbird Funambol extension, but it doesn't yet support version 3 and Thunderbird is now up to version 12. Evolution also appears to support the appropriate protocols, but I do not use the Gnome desktop environment. Is there another client for Linux?
Synchronising my contacts and calendar between phone and desktop via my email provider is probably the feature that I am after the most.
Thanks!
