Hi: Gmail is accesible in a number of ways.
First, probably the best Web experience is to use what they call the "Basic html" interface. Also, you can turn on pop and imap access and use Outlook Express, Outlook, as well as the mail program in Windows Live Essentials. Gmail sees to work ok with IMAP, since you can have multiple folders and access them with some or maybe all of these programs. You tuen on POP and IMAP access in GMail's settings. You may need a little help on the settings page, bu, once you turn on that setting, you should never have to fool with it again. A lot of us use GMail. Hope this helps.
