Actually, I have 5 different email accounts, Anne, and I can configure Kmail 
to use whichever I want, automatically, in many situations. For example, you 
can configure replies to message from any particular sub-folder to always use 
a certain non-default account. By creating different identities and carefully 
examining the right-click options in a couple of places, the options are 
pretty endless. Bottom line - I use all my mail accounts, and I almost never 
have to manually choose which one to use to send... it's pretty impressive, 
what the Kmail developers have built in, though you have to poke a bit. 

Regarding gmail, I've done it three ways; web-access only, which I share Ric's 
sentiments on; setting options in Gmail to forward my mail  while keeping 
and/or deleting the original - you can micromanage which ones are kept, by 
the way, using filters and other options; and I've used it as a plain old 
pop/smtp service - and of course you're right, once you understand all those 
options, you can pretty much get around any upstream filtering schemes
