Gmail -- I need an app

[kimmer]

Okay, on my iPhone and iPad there is a gmail app and I can work with it. On my iMac, it's the browser of the day (usually Safari) and their web site. Well, gmail has, once again, changed their look. I. HATE. IT. So it's time to use an app to grab my gmail. It would be grand if I could reply through the app without using my ISP -- is that possible? Any recommendations? Clear and easy instructions on setting it all up?

First thought is set up gmail for Forwarding to just about any other email address you have. You can then use Mail or any other email app (except maybe Eudora). Of course, that still leaves you wanting another app...
