Thane,
Have you considered getting your own domain and running incoming MX on an
old server? Spam filtering is a pain in the ass, but if you're worried
about space and about security, you can control both by putting your own
cheap server with disk space in play.
Frankly, if you setup a linux mac
gmail supports IMAP and POP3 access types.

Yes, I am still thinking about changing from POP to IMAP.

Provided you trust GMail to store and protect your mail for you,
sure. But if you're like me and have mail backed up in several
locations, then perhaps not.

Christopher,
Best answer I've ever read. Thank you.
I do not do 'phone/ipad' email, but I get it.
Think I will stay POP3 for now; well untilI can not.
IMAP reads to me as another layer (ISP) to deal with.
Thank you.

If you're using one of the more popular email services (Gmail, Yahoo, etc)
or an Exchange account, the iPad setup pretty much takes care of that:

Otherwise, you can follow this guide to manually setup either a POP or IMAP
account:

Thank you Thane! I've been wondering this also.. :)
