Like someone said... local clients give you a fail-safe copy.
If you are depending on free service to store your email, you need to be
prepared to lose it or some of it. Over time it will happen. Using
Gmail with a local email client also pretty much reduces that chance to
0.
I see it as a "win-win." You also get the combined advantage/
efficiency of fewer steps, failsafe redundancy and remote access by
doing both.
Re: the IMAP/POP choice I am personally undecided on in the case of
Gmail, .
I have used it of course for enterprise email accounts I have but not
yet for personal accounts...
For one thing,I don't want the IMAP overhead on my PDA mail.

Except the hassle of the extra steps involved. The speed of a modern
AJAX client (email in your browser) equals that of any local client,
so why bother setting up POP or IMAP? Better to learn the browser
version.

GMail supports both POP and IMAP so nothing prevents you from also
downloading. This suggestion broadens you options.
