I think, today the best E-Mail-Solution with most advantages free of charge is the combination of UNLIMITED AOL Web-Mail Archive (IMAP) with Mozilla Thunderbird as a User Interface, which has nearly all useful features, that the professional commercial product Outlook has.
For detailed Information about 6 disadvantages of Web-GMail compared with Thunderbird or Outlook + AOL mail see: http://gsfn.us/t/btop and http://alternativeto.net/desktop/aol-mail .
In Addition to this, GMail has the little mistake: GMail filters, which delete mails AND place a label, loose the label: the label is substituted after some days with the empty label "".
