said by mlundin:Well, GMail has it's own quirks that aren't always great: you can't delete from the server using a POP client, you can't retrieve from more than one POP client, and you can't create folders (the labels kinda suck). If you're strictly a web-based user you're in great shape.
If you like your outlook or thunderbird to keep remote copies of your mail (for cases just like this one), it's a bit difficult to tangle with. Not difficult anymore since gmail implemented IMAP. All my gmail is also stored locally on 2 different computers and kept in sync with gmail servers using the Windows Vista Mail program.
