Labelling in gmail doesn't help if you are forwarding to an Outlook account, though.
outlook supports imap, doesn't it? I have my wife setup with Microsoft Windows Mail (Vista, fka outlook express) using imap on gmail, and it works /great/
she gets the best of both worlds, it maintains copies of her folders locally AND on the gmail server, and synchronizes each time she connects so that she can look up stuff in her email when she's offline.
the imap 'folders' she creates in windows mail are in fact filters on gmail.
I use IMAP for Gmail, as Google recommends, with the Evolution MUA. The "filters" and "labels" that Gmail uses are not working as I would like them to. Possibly with time, I will improve on those settings. After I download my email into Evolution, I manually move all the CentOS mail into the CentOS "label". After that, things are organized. :-) IMAP is much better than POP3, for a number of reasons, as Google says.
