GMail and iPhone - the best combination. If you're using your own domain, go with Google Apps which provides email. It's free and reliable.

Second,
no third,
gmail and a phone.Haven't used a mail client since I sat at an agency. There it was Entourage. But Thunderbird has a cuter logo.

For people that use Gmail, what point is there to use an email client (not counting phones) anyway? I love how everything is searchable and you don't need to spend so much time organizing your emails into folders or worry about backing up old email.

I agree, (and wrote something about it), but you also have to factor in that at an agency you're likely getting a whole lot more mails.
Hundreds a day in my case.
You'd auto-folder these so you know what you have, what you can ignore and what you got to follow up on.
So while search is great it doesn't give you that instant overview and cleaned up niceness.
Doesn't take that much to have something like it using online tools though...

I agree that gmail is great.
What I'm looking for is a central place to receive my gmail, yahoo, hotmail and my domain emails.- domain email = gmail via google apps, yahoo / hotmail -> collect via gmail********

I use mac mail on my desktop for all my domains and gmail. mail in a browser sucks balls. I have a ton of mail rules set up to organize everything automagically. i really have no desire to ever have email on a phone, guess i'm weird that way.

Mail.app for everything.
When you get fonts and 100MB .AIs attached you can't use mobile e-mail and also it is not business wise to use webmail solutions like Gmail if you really take your work seriously.
Mobile e-mail is just having Mail.app open on a MBPro...

Gmail biggest flaw is it doesn't use folders, it uses labels (there is a folder for spam).
When labeling, it creates a copy of an email, rather than moving it into a folder. This way, you still have your filed email cluttering your inbox only it takes twice as much space now.I use gmail, but read and organize it in Apple Mail.
- Labeling+Archiving is essentially the same as putting something into a folder. Don't be afraid of the archive button********

I use a desktop application (evolution) with gmail.
Prefer it to using a wholly browser-based experience, because there are times when an internet connection goes down - and sometimes there are times when I really need a particular mail. I reckon it's also good to be able to have a real-world backup; which is something you can have if you use a desktop app.
I'm not completely convinced by evolution - it does the job .. but I've been thinking about switching to thunderbird.

I use Windows Live Mail for that sort of thing. The only reason why I once started was that Live Mail supports UTF-8 with IMAP protocol, as I write a lot in cyrillics, this feature was crucial.
Actually, it looks and behaves nicely.
