Perhaps I should be more clear. I have been using Gmail for a long time and I really like using it. However, there are some downsides to Gmail which keep me looking to use other systems. Currently I use IMAP with a number of email client tools but Gmail is my core architecture, if you will. I import five email accounts into Gmail before organizing messages. I’m exploring the implications of changing my core architecture to another email system while still employing Gmail as one of my more powerful client tools (particularly for tagging messages and keeping conversations together).

I welcome comments and input from anyone who has gone this route before, particularly if you use(d) Gmail’s tagging and archiving features heavily prior to switching systems. I also welcome your input if you think such an exercise is pure folly.
