I've long used a dedicated gmail account to aggregate emails from various sources before forwarding to mail2web to get pushed to my phone. I don't particularly care about syncing contacts and calendar (especially since mail2web has caused thousands of duplicates over the last couple of years), but I'd like to find a way to get gmail pushed directly to my device.

It is not PUSH e-mail
I have it set to "Pull" every 10 minutes so it feels the same, and as far as battery life concerns there has not been a noticeable change. (I received an e-mail as I type this)
I do agree that Mail2web's service has been excellent and certainly worth the price they are now charging. This is merely information for those who do decide to go the "free" route.
As far as spam controll Gmail has been doing a wonderful job for me. I migrated my personal website e-mail to Gmail and whereas I used to constantly add address to my blacklist I now just review and delete my spam folder. Just make sure you have the spam filter turned to ON.
