Is that also possible for a google hosted account? Basically I want myemail@gmail.com to also get myemail@mydomain.com that is hosted by gmail. Sending doens't appear to be a problem, but when I point it to mail.mydomain.com (and there is a CNAME and MX record there) it either doesn't find it's way back to gmail or gmail is not allowing me to do this.

I just use gmail via a browser now & I could hv more than one browser open on my mailbox at any time. The spam filtering is very effective, never get anything in my mailbox but quickly scan the crap before letting gmail delete it. It just works, I don't think it's evil, I like it. gmail does the biz – I pull email off 2 other services into my gmail account & my own domain’s email is fwded directly into gmail, No issues, happens whether I’m online or offline.

Like Erin, I have two just for my day job- one for me, and one a shared account with the other member of my department (we run the website and both need to have access to the requests in case one of us is out). I have another one for my personal stuff. Then I have a fourth one for my labor-of-love gig. I could theoretically merge these two, but that would create more clutter problems than it would solve.

Every checked and processed email you move to its own folder (mbox, readed, done). Check Inbox Zero or similiar ideas. Every mail you need to process (f.e. need to be answered) you can find later in your defered mailfolder (or inbox). @Amy: you just keep the unanswered mail in your inbox (or better move it to your deferred mailfolder).

The Google Apps mail interface is essentially Gmail. (It's usually a revision behind the main Gmail interface.) I've been using IMAP from my iPhone and laptops to read and send mail through my various mail accounts hosted by Google, and one Yahoo address. I don't understand the requirement for offline access, but I hardly ever use the Gmail web interfaces, online or off. I just use my iPhone, mail.app, and Thunderbird. It takes a little getting used to what the IMAP commands do with regards to Gmail labels and archival, but it works extremely well, and I never have to worry about being online/offline, inbox quotas, synchronization across devices, or spam.

Each address serves a very clear function and applies to a specific context. You wouldn't use a hammer to do the work of a screwdriver. My interns are fantastic kids, but they legally can't have access to conversations I have with other businesses, reporters, and confidential corporate information. @Jeannine — I could merge them, but I don’t WANT to merge them.

I think one e-mail address for work and one personal is plenty. Maybe the general Unclutterer account can be forwarded to your individual work account? Same thing with your alias....it could likely be forwarded to your personal account.

I wait until I'm at a real computer to respond to it. I have IMAP enabled on my phone and Gmail accounts, but somehow along the way my settings have changed to where when I delete messages on my iPhone, they don't delete in my actual Gmail inbox. They just sit there with the label "Deleted messages" on them. I haven't figured out yet how to fix this. :( I do agree that Gmail's spam filtering is awesome. The one downside to Gmail is that it doesn't allow you to block certain email addresses/domains (Windows Live Mail does). I tend to block the domains of spam emails that I get. The only option Gmail gives you for this is to create a filter using an email address, subject, etc., and the email is only deleted without you seeing it - it's not actually blocked from coming into your inbox. All that being said though, Gmail is still the best free email client that I've used. @Amy: I personally read email on my iPhone and if I find it warrants a long response, I don’t delete it.
