This solution is the best I have found so far- I get GMail's portability and excellent SPAM filtering but I can access it from any computer or mobile device I have.

I haven't tried downloading gmail ut can see why it would be handy. It also makes sure you have backups which is cool. Thanks for the comment.

I know Apple mail has that big database file that could be lost but gmail keeps all my mail backed up and online. You can configure gmail to get mail from other accounts using pop3. This allows you to send and receive using your current non-gmail address. Drawbacks with this approach: Sent mail form your Apple mail program does not end up archived on gmail (unless you always remember to bcc your gmail address). Also, gmail seems to check pop accounts about once an hour. That means you won't get mail right away. (I'm not sure about that once an hour thing. Sometimes it seems like it gets mail more often, sometimes I notice a delay.) You can retreive mail form both your original server and gmail using pop or imap but then you sometimes get 2 copies of things. Dumb idea? I use Apple mail with gmail.
