      <body>I would use gmail. They are constantly improving and adding new things to it. I can't see email even being used on offline programs like outlook in the future. Especially now that you can do a ton of stuff offline with gmail.</body>

You just have to set up filters and assign each email address to a different label. This works great, as you can color code your labels. I use this to manage 7 or 8 emails and it's great, especially if you have a Blackberry.</body>

I guess it's just personal preferences methinks - a few things that are missing - like a holiday auto-reply. It could be also connected to hating my work computer, it's a general source of hate.</body>

      <body>Mail.app with IMAP access to personal Gmail, business Google Apps Mail, etc.  Setup Mail.app to store messages locally, so you can read when offline, but don't download from server.

Then you can still login to gmail.com and other accounts to view all your mail when away from your computer.

I used to get a delay when I used the POP fetcher in Gmail to get my other accounts.  No delay with IMAP in Mail.app</body>

      <body>Alright newbcakes, welcome to enlightenment.

1) Log on to gmail obviously
2) Settings &gt; Accounts
3) Set up all the accounts for this email page. I have all of my emails forwarded to one central account, and the ability to send emails from different addresses. Example, I am using mitchbones@ but I may send you an email as mitchellrushing@.
4)You can set up gmail with your own domain, if you like boys.
5)Click the Labs tab. 
Enable "Offline" "Tasks" "Quick Links" "Super stars" "custom keyboard shortcuts" "Canned Responses" (if your a loser) "Multiple Inboxes"(If you have a lot of screen real estate)
6)&lt;B&gt;SET UP LABELS&lt;/b&gt;.  What I do, lets say I get an invoice, I'll put it in the label "invoice" then I will remove the inbox label. It is crucial for getting Inbox Zero if your into that sort of thing.
7)If you are super pro, and use firefox, &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/exclusive-lifehacker-download/better-gmail-2-firefox-extension-for-new-gmail-320618.php"&gt;Get this addon&lt;/a&gt;

If you're on windows, learn how to set up google applications with Google Chrome. If you don't like using a browser, use Thunderbird.</body>
