One very popular app in the mainstream iOS community is Sparrow. I've never tried it though so have no idea whether or not it is accessible.
The built-in mail app can play very nicely with your Gmail account, though. What you can do is set up filters and labels on the Gmail website, i.e. I have a filter which sends messages sent to this list to a label called "ViPhone" and has them skip the inbox. When I'm reading mail in the built-in mail app, it respects the filters I've set up because the labels show up as folders to the iPhone, which uses IMAP to get the mail. A lot of people don't set up their Gmail accounts using the "default" IMAP route and instead opt to set them up as Exchange accounts. That gives you push notifications, but it takes away a fair amount of functionality and makes it harder to sort, search, and read other folders besides the inbox (at least in my opinion). An example is that you have to choose every folder that you want pushed, and you might not want push alerts for all your labels! What I'd recommend doing is setting up your Gmail account as an IMAP account then using another app such as Ultimate Notifier, Push, or even the native Gmail app, to provide push if you want it.
