That's my backup strategy for gmail.

If I may ask a slightly off-topic question. How are you finding Android on your HD2? I've got a cyanogen based 2.3 build on my work phone which loads through Haret, everything works well but my data connection craps out periodically, requiring either a switch to airplane mode and back or a restart, from what I've read it's actually an issue with pppd as opposed to a radio problem. Have you had that issue?
