I believe Ubuntu comes with Evolution which should handle gmail fine, although my personal preference is Mozilla Thunderbird. Handles gmail like a champ as well.

Go into your Gmail settings online, in the POP/SMTP section to enable SMTP, and there should be links to setting up Evolution too. – wez Jan 13 '10 at 9:16
Claws Mail and Kmail are nice too. – Iain Jan 13 '10 at 10:59

for reading gmail: well, browsers comes to mind. if you want a 'standalone application' to keep gmail related things (cookies etc) separated from the rest of the world, try 'prism'.

all other 'normal' email clients provide only limited access to gmail.
