I've just started to use Gmail in the last week or so and I find it very
intuitive in fact more intuitive than any client I've ever used! I do
have niggling security/privacy concerns but they are outweighed by the
sheer usefulness of being able to seamlessly email from mutiple machines
including my smartphone. I use Gmail as an interface to my POP box (it
checks it every few minutes leaving a copy on the server). Once a day I'll
use my standard desktop client on my main machine to download all messages
hence they all end up being stored on the hard drive in case they ever
disappear from the "cloud". Anything sent from GMail I Bcc. to myself so
copies of any Sent Items are also collected during the desktop client
drawdown and stored to the hard drive.
Anyway, not the only way to solve the issue of using multiple machines in
multiple places but it works well for me.
