Since I've moved my email to my mobile device, I've switched back to using regular IMAP on my computers.
Google refuses to release optimized versions of Talk or Gmail for iOS, I suppose so Android can have exclusivity, but it seems like an insane strategy. The Google app for iOS is Webkit garbage.
Now I use Lavabit for email. Their web interface is garbage but their security and support are top notch, and they will host mail for third party domains if you ask them to.
If you want to do e-mail syncing on most mobile devices, NuevaSync[1] provides an ActiveSync interface for any IMAP-capable e-mail account. I'm using them to do calendar sync to a device that doesn't do iCal and the service has performed quite well. Nueva even offers device wipe as an included feature.
