'Its free' is the primary reason why developers choose Gmail. KiwiforGmail is kind of changing my life.

If Google would just use IMAP standards, the email app market would be flush with great choices. It’s too bad, because it looks really nice on the surface. It has way too many features that don’t work – according to the developer’s site, there’s nothing he can do about it, again because Google doesn’t allow it in their API.
