Gmail = Consolidate
The thing that I’m loving about gmail is the fact that you can consolidate your emails to one gmail account (without setting up a forward) in a very similar way that you would with Outlook or Apple Mail. Under the gmail settings > accounts, you can add your pop3 emails to your gmail account. For people like me with several email addresses (church, website, personal…) this keeps it clean and simple on my end. And yes, you can still send from your different email addresses.
I also like gmail because your pop emails are now responding like imap.
I’m not running two email accounts my personal Mobile Me and my Gmail (which includes the numbers of emails that I HAVE to have).
Now go set up your gmail account!
