KTMom, one of the wonderful things about gmail is that you can configure it to receive mail from all of your other accounts.
I have about 12 different e-mail addresses(don't ask), but they are all consolidated under my main gmail account. All e-mail lands in the same inbox, clearly labelled with the e-mail address it was mailed to, so I know where it came from.
The interface is a little different from most other e-mail accounts and takes some getting used to, but I can't imagine going back to any of the other services.
