Email, no.  I use IMAP.  But if I was stuck with POP, and verizon.net wants me 
to be, the answer would be yes.

As for music, again the answer is no and yes.  I don't stream from home at 
work.  I have a copy of a lot of my music on my work computer, probably 80 
GB.  I transferred that to work via an external USB HD, not over the air, 
though I could have.  Would I want to stream from home to work?  Well if the 
IT department (which includes me) caught me streaming music, they would shut 
me down -- and they would catch me.  We are pretty loose where I work, but 
bandwidth hogging streaming is prohibited.  Likewise, I wonder how much of 
that 2-5 GB of "unlimited" data will get eaten if all of your data is 
somewhere else.  And I wouldn't bet that Sprint is going to lift that cap 
just because of one niche phone.
