Not quite.  You can configure gmail to allow pop but keep and archive a 
copy as well.  Then you can use your favorite mailer to 
download/read/reply and delete as you go.  If you need to check or 
search something old you can still use gmail's web interface for that.

Or, if you have your own server somewhere you can use fetchmail to do 
the POP pickup and store the messages so you can access time via IMAP 
from your client.
