Gmail doesn't support pop3/imap which you'd need to add your gmail account to mail.
DON'T USE BOLD ALL THE TIME! IT DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE RESPOND ANY FASTER!

Nops:
http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/
Someone made a package for osX, which auto installed gmailpopd.py...
I have it on my home machine, I'll post the dmg later, you can still try setting up gmailpopd.py and pointing mail.app to a pop account on localhost.
Okay, I really need some coffee :)
Get back on ya arount 20.00 GMT :cool:

here you go :)
On the other hand, gMail changed its service today and you can setup a forwarding address in your gmail account, so you don't need this hack anymore :)
Although I don't know if your ISP will allow sending emails through their SMTP server with an @gmail.com email address.
have fnu!

This is good news, since I use GMail myself. Will .Mac accept address@gmail.com though, since that's what I use Mac OS X Mail for?

Great!
Watch out though, don't get too addicted on this feature as GMail clearly states that it is free of charge for now in their what's new page.
