How I moved my email to Gmail

A few weeks ago I took control over my email.  Not only did I clean out my inboxes, but I also converted everything over to Gmail.  Why would I do this?

  1. Always online and availabe to me.
  2. Doesn’t take up space on my webserver.
  3. The labeling system is fantastic.  I didn’t really know this until I really started using it.
  4. Integrated nicely with Mail.app or other email applications like Thunderbird and Outlook.
  5. I can send and receive email from multiple accounts via one Gmail account.
  6. iPhone ready.
  7. Email is up even if website is down.
