hi all...
came across this earlier...and thought it may be of use to someone here with a gmail account....
"richard jones's perl script creates what he calls the Gmail File System, which can mount the one gig as a virtual volume right on your linux desktop"
extract taken from here..

info on Gmail File System including download and instal instructions here...
http://richard.jones.name/google-hac...ilesystem.html
looks to be compatible with linux only at the moment....so not of any use the the windows users for the foreseeable future...
hope thats of interest to someone......
