It isn't that hard to use Gmail properly. I've been doing so for years.

Gmail also has some pretty interesting add-ons, such as the GTDInbox Firefox plugin, which I started using recently (very cool and good for tracking my Haiku tasks among others.) There are also a bunch of "Google Labs" features you can turn on, for example something that allows you to selectively quote messages when responding. I don't use it because I am happy with my manual quoting technique. I highly recommend switching to Gmail. You can also download your Gmail with POP3 (and I believe IMAP), so you are not stuck with the web interface if you don't like it. Regards, Ryan
