Barry,

Until I got my Blackberry, I set up, and still have set up, Gmail to handle my mail when I'm out and about. As you say, using a BB to type out quite long emails is frustrating but, even before that I found Gmail really useful for checking mail when I was in front of any computer. It was really easy to set up as well. Well, I did it so it must have been! The good thing about it is, I can receive mails to my McIntosh Photography email account, a copy is sent to Gmail and I can reply from Gmail through my McIntosh Photography account so the recipient sees mail from McIntosh Photography not Gmail. You can add loads of accounts this way. The spam filtering is excellent as well. Hope this helps.
