That's one way to get to inbox zero. ;) I would move away from Gmail completely but it's great for the search capabilities and Google Drive is really nice for a good enough doc suite. One of these days when I get enough time I will download all my messages and just use Gmail / Drive as a container for archived info I want to be able to access from anywhere and use the Gmail search capabilities. To the other suggestions, I would add that you should get your own domain name for your email to go to. That way you can switch the back-end service at any time. If I know ahead of time that I might have to use a Windows computer that I don't own, I carry around a USB drive with Portable Apps and everything encrypted with TrueCrypt. I have been able to put together a pretty decent dev environment on a USB stick (except that USB sticks are slow.) That's probably still asking for trouble though. You never know what someone might have installed on their computer. A separate browser as a portable app won't protect you from key loggers.
