A lot of people implement GTD methodology entirely with Gmail. I don't feel comfortable doing that because gmail is not that secure. And I think depending on a network service is a bad idea for a GTD system. So I still download all my emails to my local computers.

Forward search with "\ls" works, but inverse search by "Ctrl-Left click" in xdiv is not enabled.

Of course, there are many "vimers" like me, and they've found ways to fix this.
