OK I'm still confused. You say that gmail is your one and only e-mail, right? So what how does the mail2web thing come into play?
In other words, why don't you simplify everything by setting up your gmail pop3 account on the 6700 directly as the only account? There is no push that way, but you can set it up to download on a schedule.
If you are trying to get the best of both worlds by combining gmail with exchange push, I just don't know how successful you will be in the end at getting all the bennies because it's a kludge.
I see what you mean about the hassle of sending with a different account than you receive with in the Messaging app. MS really could have done better by allowing you to easily change accounts from within a new e-mail message (the desktop version of Outlook has had that for years). As it is now, you would have to train yourself to go to the gmail account before you click "New". And for replies and forwards, yeah, it would suck even more.
Maybe check with mail2web to see if they have some means of forwarding your sent items back to your gmail account (which you could then move into your sent items).
If you really want to standardize on one inbox, why not use an exchange one instead? That gives you the best of all worlds with seamless access from Outlook, the web (via Outlook Web Access), and full synchronization with Windows Mobile. Then you could just forward your gmail account to the exchange one and have everything in one place.
I for one really like gmail, but their insistence on POP3 really limits the usefulness of their accounts. I'm not sure you can have your cake and eat it too in this case.
