I don't have RAID at all. Just three drives being used as /home on LVM. I should use RAID but I have a backup that gets done each week. I wouldn't lose much even if it crashed and burned badly. The biggest loss might would be emails. I think I have gmail set up to save them so I think it would download whatever was missing from the last backup restoration. I need to check that.
You might have copies of email everywhere without realising it. If gmail is set up as imap, then it will keep a copy of all your mail. I have dovecot set up which keeps a copy of all mine.
Suck it and see, but if you have /home on one drive, and dovecot cache on another, then you shouldn't lose anything. Mail clients should err on the side of caution, and if they disagree with the server they should assume the worst and sync keeping not sync deleting.
