Going Gmail Only

After a lot of delib­er­a­tion, I’ve decided to go Gmail only for email. I am now hav­ing my chris@cdharrison.com and chris@powerserve.net accounts for­warded to my cdharrison@gmail.com account. Because Gmail allows me to send from mul­ti­ple accounts, this tran­si­tion will be seem­less for users accus­tomed to send­ing email to me to any par­tic­u­lar account.

Why’d I do this? Well, for starters, I want all of my email in one cen­tral loca­tion. With Gmail, I can eas­ily (and auto­mat­i­cally) fil­ter email based on the des­ti­na­tion account. Hav­ing it all in Gmail allows me to eas­ily search email. I only have to login to one place now. Before, I was log­ging into sev­eral mail servers to check to see if I had email.

Sure, one could argue that it doesn’t make sense to mix per­sonal email with work email, or that I could use Out­look to check all of my accounts at once. But none of those solu­tions meet my main need to have all of my email avail­able to me in one cen­tral location.

I’ve been using Gmail for well over 6 months now, and I’m finally con­fi­dent enough in it to make this switch. Have you con­sid­ered doing some­thing like this? If not, why not? I’m inter­ested to hear what oth­ers have to say…
