The problem with managing your email from other clients, at least to me, is that other email clients have workflows that don't work with my expectations. I'm so used to using the Gmail key bindings that I find working in Apple Mail or Thunderbird slow and painful. The lack of a native Archive metaphor in those clients causes me further pain. I funnel almost all of my email into Gmail and gave up on local email clients some time ago. The only way I would revert is if I could have a local app that approximated the Gmail workflow. Offline Gmail is a welcome addition.
