Yeah, I don't need push mail. I just like to download messages when I am away from the office. Every 30 minutes is fine. But I do need the tons of confirmation and automated type messages I get to be filtered into the correct labels and then be able to see my human customer messages in the inbox.

When I first started with mobile messages on my old Treo, I'd need to scroll through hundreds of emails to find the important ones, then I discovered IMAP and filtering to folders via Fastmail like I do at home with outlook.

I wouldn't mind moving to Gmail if I can get the labels to act as folders with google IMAP. Fastmail filters are a pain to set up and the online interface is horrible +it costs money. Also, Gmail spam filtering is much better than fastmail's.
