Yes, there is. If I use gmail to pop the email from, say, yahoo, the email
is no longer at yahoo (thats pop3, email is deleted from the server). If
gmail fails, I loose the email from both servers, gmail and yahoo. That's a
single point of failure.

I prefer to have two or more different providers: if one fails, I'm still
connected via the other.
