There is a FAQ entry about this point:

Q: I cannot insert the e-acute (é) character! HELP! 
Insert the following line in your ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim file: 
imap <buffer> <leader>it <Plug>Tex_InsertItemOnThisLine
Replace <leader>it with any other key-sequence. This will make 
<leader>it key insert an \item command corresponding to the last 
opened environment in the current line in insert mode. The <M-i> key 
which is used for inserting the e-acute character will remain 
unmapped.

This way, if you use an Italian or French keyboard, you can enter 'é' 
simply using the appropriate key.
I followed the debate on how to enter accented chars in LaTeX, and 
it's one of the most typical topics in TeX usergroups, or better it 
was years ago. In my case, I am very happy of entering accented chars 
as single chars, since, being a linguist,  I type in English, 
Italian, German and some other Latin-based language, and almost every 
day also ancient Greek. Without the abilty of accepting normal input, 
I think that using LaTeX would not be a reasonale choice for me and 
people in my field. The combination "LaTeX + inputenc + vimlatex" is 
extremely efficient for a scholar in this area.
