Gmail Supports IMAP4
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/gmail-supports-imap.html
OK, this news is a mere 23 months old, but I just learned it today. A great reason to use GMail is it is one of the few (only?) free online e-mail sites to support IMAP4. What's that mean? Well it allows you to use a great E-mail program like Thunderbird from Mozilla while you are at home. Anything you do, like sending messages, deleting messages, etc at home will also be recorded online.
Then when you travel you can still use GMail online. It's the best of both worlds, and the equivalent of how large corporation handle e-mail by keeping your e-mail on a central server that you can access and manipulate just like Outlook.
