I'd say the opposite. Every desktop MUA supports POP and IMAP, and the three major webmail systems, Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo, all let you consolidate your mail by POP or IMAP from other accounts. None of the webmail systems support PGP or S/MIME except maybe by some experimental add-ons. What I've done for some of my users who want their mail forwarded to a gmail address is to run it through spamassassin. If the spam score is low, I just forward it so they get it right away. If the score is high I drop it in a local mailbox so they get it eventually when gmail picks it up by POP. Works pretty well.
