The only good thing about my old RAZR cell phone was the GMail app that I had on there that let me easily check my email. Today at some point Google turned on support for IMAP. This allows me to set my iPhone up to use my GMail account in basically the same way as the web interface. When I delete a message it deletes it from GMail and when I send a message it goes into my sent box.Google gives you instructions on how to connect but you have to go to your Mail setting on your iPhone and map the inbox, send and trash directory to the folders on GMail so that it doesn't just randomly apply labels. The only trick here is that you need to map the Trash on the iPhone to go to the All Mail on the server. That will make more sense if you are looking at the settings on your iPhone.
I'm loving it so far, the only thing that is keeping me from using it 100% of the time is that it doesn't allow you to choose the address your sending from. Thats on Apple not Google though. Although google could add in IMAP push to make me just giddy.

Whether it be with the iPhone or any other mail client you can change which account you send from just by changing the outgoing server. Granted it's not as easy on the iPhone as with regular desktop clients but it works.
