YES!!!! Every time I set up a new email account for a client I always urge them to use Gmail as their email client. I’m not a fan of Outlook or Thunderbird.

You can Get started with Google Apps for free with up to 10 custom user accounts. To learn more go to:http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html
This way you can set up your email as me@mydomain.com
If you have multiple email accounts, but want you to manage everything in one interface you can accomplish this by either forwarding the other email to me@mydomain.com or use POP3 to download the email into your gmail account.
mail settings > accounts > Add a POP3 mail account you own
You can also “send mail as” another email address if you like .
mail settings > accounts > and add anther email address to “send mail as”
I find that Gmail works GREAT for business!

@amyhallbiz – LOL I don’t know about all that. But I have set up quite a few gmail accounts for clients, and I also get the “how to” or “help” calls.

Hi, me too. I’m utilising Gmail for my business. With the same username and password, we can utilise all Google services such as Google Docs, Calendar, Youtube, etc. Gmail & other Google services are always improving from time to time in terms of design & usability. At one time, Gmail asked me either to import contacts & all email from Yahoo Mail into Gmail, I just agree without any hesitation!
