I'll jump in here too as I also use gmail heavily for my personal e-mail.

I switched to this for a couple reasons:

   1. Gmail's SPAM filters are excellent.
   2. I use any one of a number of systems and devices to read my e-mail and
   nmh/mh-e is hard to get to.
   3. Gmail's SPAM filters are excellent

What I do is have all my e-mail go to gmail directly and use fetchmail to
pull all sent mail and mail I want to archive.  I use a special label
(ArchieMe) that I tag mail with that I want to get into my MH folders.

For work I use nmh/mh-e exclusively.

Thanks

Jeff
