Not at all! I have 3 ISP accounts and a Yahoo account. All of the email servers are set to forward the emails to my Gmail account (because Gmail has by far the most successful spam filter). Then Gmail preferences are set such that when an incoming email is responded to (from Gmail), it appears to come from the email address originally sent to ... of course looking at the headers would show that it originated from Gmail. The best part of this scenario is that, when I am traveling, all of my email is accessible from any computer on any internet connection. If I wanted to use Outlook, Eudora or whatever, Gmail also allows me to download by POP3, and even still keep the originals on the webserver if I so choose. Ya just gotta play with the bells and whistles a bit, it's all there.
