Simply edit /etc/alias and add a line:
james james, james@gmail.com

then run newalises command once.

Henceforth, all emails directed to james@xtremax.com will be forwarded to james@gmail.com as well. You can add as many aliases as you want. It works for internal users as well, eg. adding edward as an alias for james will have your emails forwarded to edward@xtremax.com.

Hmm… but how does adding an alias work? Ooops.. just shows my limited knowledge on Linux… Well frankly, I rely on Jiang Hao on almost all my Linux set up.

Sigh… too much to learn … and just too little time…

GMail doesnt seem to have a “Download mail using IMAP” function. I hacked around it by adding my gmail account as an alias for my linux user account account.
