#26straight up google apps gmail with gmail notifier. As far as multiple accounts: 1) set other accounts up to forward to your gmail/gapps email 2) setup a filter + auto label system for those emails 3) add it as an outgoing email that you can reply from (limited to 7 i THINK)
I use the Google Apps/Gmail interface also. I've found that as it has matured over time there are less reasons I would want a desktop client and more reasons for having the portability of a cross platform, location independent web interface. Gmail is a class act when it comes to web apps.
I just use it as an offline backup, and keep it synced.
