As a Linux user, I invite you to use one of the proper implementations of a W3C-compliant Mail User Agent. I like KMail. Thunderbird is OK, too, though not personally to my taste.
That is not a practical solution for people who move around a lot, don't use a single laptop, and would rather have all their mail and mail settings in one place. That's the reason I use GMail.
Find an ISP that provides IMAP, then. And if you're "moving around a lot" and need information services, why _don't_ you have a laptop? If email is important, why do you allow yourself to be at the mercy of whatever internet-connected computer you can manage to find?
It's also not just GMail doing this -- do any other of the major web mail providers follow this? ...
Why should I care how many people or organizations do it wrong? The reason email is such a hell-hole is in part 'cause all these haphazard implementations.
