Web on Firefox all the way. (from multiple machines and OS's)
You can drive it "vi-style", I hardly use the mouse at all.

I then also IMAP everything to thunderbird on a few machines as a
backup. Although having just read a CLUG'ers blog I like the look of
mpop (http://carlo-hamalainen.net/blog/?p=314).
I also use the java app on my Nokia E71 and sometimes the nokia mail
app for viewing attached PDF's.
The major pain of using a "real client" is that you can't do things
the "gmail way" of just archiving everything and searching later. This
I am completely addicted to.
