If gmail classifies the first several messages as spam then you may end up with all of the forwarded mail in the spam folder. Further, you may not be able to get your mail through to the receipient, if the destination is handling spam much the same way as Google, as you'll be in neutral to negative SPF territory. GoogleApps is a better alternative; have Google host the email for you.

Then you get not only the advantages of the gmail client, but also calendar, chat, docs and others. It does take some "techie" kind of changes to your hosting service (this usually has to be requested thru technical service) but once they do it...the Google Apps instructions walk you right thru it....and if I can do it, you can too.
