There’s been a lot of talk about Gmail on mobile recently, with some people in favour, and others not so convinced. Whilst I do have a Gmail account, I never use it. I do use webmail, but it seems I am rapidly becoming a rare breed - someone who runs their own email server.

For me all my mobile email needs are provided by the webmail client I have running on my server, and IMAP4 access on my mobile phone. I don’t have any of the overhead of accessing a webmail client through a very expensive pay-per-byte mobile connection (I only download email headers rather than full text), and I ensure that communications (both to and from me) are ‘branded’ with my company domain name rather than some other company’s generic address type.
