Sounds more like a organization issue than an email choice ;o)

I guess that I'm alone in my preference of Gmail over Outlook, but that's
probably due to factors other than the UI (Outlook crashing, losing track of
my PST files, etc.). I've been using Gmail for about as many years as its
life, and most of all I love its remote storage. Every message I've saved
for the past several years is there on the cloud, and I love that.

copy, and load that into Outlook simply because it prints pretty phone
books, but by and large I leave it to Google to save everything for me. It
has even happened that I couldn't locate a copy of a years-old app that
wanted some enhancements, so I searched Gmail and located the last Send Zip
File to the client of interest. Downloaded the file from Gmail, unzipped it,
did the enhancements, and fired it off to the client. This method is far
better than my having to remember which of a hundred DVDs contains the last
version. They're far better at Search than I.
