On a personal note, I like gmail interface but it does not have the
conventional tree view. The conversation view sucks for high volume
mailing lists. Also when you reply to a query, it wont automatically
send the mail to the mailing list. But instead it sends it to one single
person. If gmail had those two features, then it probably is the best.
Otherwise I will still stick with thunderbird + gmane news group accounts.
