I agree with Robby . Outlook + Exchange and now you can get unlimited mailbox on hosted exchange via many providers for 10 $ a month which is not much more than gmail apps. Gmail is cute and nice but Outlook still gets it done. Assingn real world projects requiring heavy mail use and time yourself... outlook /exchnage will prevail by far.

I've switched over to Opera because it works like Gmail, but has the advantage of downloading and operating locally. It also features filter rules that are simply incredible. I can get through an entire day's email in about 20 minutes without missing a beat. It gives the advantages of Gmail (tag/search based structure instead of folders) with the thick client edge (speed + OS integration) that Robby is talking about. Because Opera uses a file system based store for messages, it's fast and when disaster strikes, you might corrupt one message. It also works with Mac and Linux clients.

Unlike Gmail, you can use Outlook in disconnected mode out of the box. (It's possible to do this with Google Gears, but it's still <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-in-labs-offline-gmail.html" rel="nofollow">experimental at best</a>) Unlike Gmail, you get the complete power of your desktop. Want to attach a file? No annoying browse-button-navigate-your-drive-attach. Just drag and drop! Want to save an email on your own computer? Drag and drop! Unlike Gmail, you get both the advantage of the cloud and your local computer. So if your hard drive crashes, you can resync. If the server crashes, you can resync. With Google, you just might become <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/12/gmail_disaster_google_confirme.html" rel="nofollow">one of the unlucky ones</a> who loses all their email without warning. It's true that you can use Gmail from anywhere. But you can use Outlook + Exchange from anywhere with Outlook Web Access! In fact, there's no mail platform which has support for more devices than Exchange. Outlook has *rules.* You can customize what Outlook does with every message. For example, if you want to make sure that every message which contains the words "PROJECT 213" is also forwarded to your boss, Outlook can do that. Gmail can't. It's certainly possible that in the future, Gmail will be as good as Outlook. The release of Google Chrome is a big step ahead. But for now, it's just not possible to have the level of interactivity and operating system interaction inside the browser that you can have in a true desktop app. Outlook + Exchange rules! .-= Robby Slaughter´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SlaughterDevelopment/~3/YyQy_iPwLB0/" rel="nofollow">Productive Networking</a> =-.

I use Gmail in exactly the same ways you mentioned above, almost to a T. I drink the Google juice for sure but it rarely lets me down. Hopefully I can get the company switched over to Google for Business in the near future. Great post Erik. I use Gmail in exactly the same ways you mentioned above, almost to a T.
