I have setup all my pop3 accounts through Gmail. The advantages are:
1) All your mail in one spot with small email tags identifying what account they are from.
2) Signatures for your outgoing mail with the Gmail app.
3) You can file all your emails by labels (folders).
4) You can search all your mail.
5) You can filter your mail so it goes directly in the labels (folders).
6) If you have an attachment in an email, you can save a bookmark for the Gmail website on your home screen and you can go there and download the attachment to your Droid. Works great!
7) At all times you have access to all email on the Gmail website mirrored on your droid.
8) You can also accept appointments created with Outlook through the web side app accessible from your phone.
All the functionality of a Blackberry with better website functionality. I am really starting to get the functionality Google meant in the Droid!
Update: I have found that forwarding mail to the Gmail account results in faster syncs. You can do this from your pop3 server.
