I regularly parse all of the boost mailing lists via the gmail web interface. For me, it handles threading adequately, and there is no perceived latency (most days) when opening mail.

Agreed. I find that any slight delays from gmail's web interface are more than compensated for by the lack of startup latency from downloading a few dozen emails I'm not going to read. The keyboard controls in it are sufficient to quickly allow me to archive the messages I won't read, and the interface is sufficiently responsive. ~ Scott
