I certainly haven’t retreated from the web—nothing like that. But after a month of using Gmail, I’m going back to using the Apple Mail client with Pepperdine’s Exchange server. Although I very much appreciated Gmail’s priority inbox feature, I simply found that managing multiple Gmail accounts was too difficult. With Apple’s Mail client, I can easily switch between various accounts, and even see all incoming e-mail in a single window. If I were trying to access my e-mail from various computers over which I didn’t have complete control, Gmail would seem like a much more attractive option. However, I usually read e-mail on my laptop, my iPhone, or my iPad. If I can access Gmail using one of these devices, I can also access the Pepperdine Exchange server just as easily. Plus, I find it much easier to switch between applications than to switch between tabs in a tabbed browser.

For these reasons, for better (I think) or for worse (some might say), I’ve said goodbye to Gmail … almost. Forwarding my Exchange e-mail to Google was incredibly easy; Pepperdine has a one-click solution for that. Going the other way is much more difficult. Using IMAP with Gmail is an absolute pain in the rear, because Gmail’s labeling scheme results in runaway duplication of e-mails when you access Gmail via IMAP … so now I’m neck-deep in cloned e-mails that just won’t seem to go away.
