Matt,

My email situation isn't nearly as complex as yours, but I think you missed
a couple of GMail features. I'm certain GMail can handle you various
accounts and segregate them as you like.

I have my basic GMail account plus two Bellsouth addresses. All three
merge into my GMail account. For a couple of years Google went out to
Bellsouth and pulled in all the email from there. A few months ago
Bellsouth become more AT&T-ized and quit responding to those requests for
some formatting reason. When I went to AT&T to correct the situation, I
found that I could just have AT&T forward everything to GMail, so that's
how I'm now running. Either method works fine.

When that "foreign" email arrives, it's treated just like GMail -- it goes
into the common Inbox -- unless I've set up a filter to route it to another
folder -- which is trivially simple to do. The folder arrangement
is hierarchical so you can easily arrange things as you choose.

I can set GMail to label my outgoing traffic as if it were from any one of
the accounts by default; or, I can select the outgoing account for the
current message.

I couldn't be happier except for one thing: I can't easily download
messages to read later. A couple of years ago GMail had a beta off-line
version which I used for a while. It had a few not-too-major problems
which caused me to abandon it. I haven't tried the latest version in over
a year. If I were travelling more, I would.
