yeah but is anyone offering IMAP access on these large accounts? I really need that to use it effectively as overflow storage space from other accounts.
Gmail is web only, not sure if Yahoo 2GB offer allows POP or IMAP access...

what do you eman by pop access, what does gmail have to do with pop? Please explain, I'm stupid.

I want to access my Gmail using Entourage (or Outlook Express whatever), and have the mail synchronized between the server and my laptop (and it can synchronize to multiple computers) Thats IMAP. I have IMAP access on a few other providers (including .Mac)
With POP you can access your account and download mail to just one computer, and it is deleted from the server (unless you tell it not to, in which case you can download to multiple computers but there is no synchronization across all the computers).

I have quite a few pop3 accounts, what would be the benefits for me to synchronise this with gmail on my lappie at home? or am I missing the point... (told you I was a bit slow)

the whole point of gmail is that you use google to search through your email.

the point with IMAP is that your laptop and your online storage are always kept in synch, so you can work with your mail offline, then it synchs on connect, and you can work offline on multiple computers (like most office networks), and you can just drag email form one IMAP account to another...
Obviously you would have to be connected for the Google mail functions to work though...
