Exactly. I am glad the trend is turning back from desktop clients to web ones. Before, the common statement from web mail hosts was that the web client was for minimal use, and a desktop client was the preferred way to go.
As an example, I think rackspace thought this up until a few months ago. They weren't improving their web client and just recommended you use a desktop client. Just these past few months they have added a lot of new features. I think they see the light now.
- jaaron 17y agoI still prefer a desktop client (well emacs gnus). I like access to my email when I'm offline and traveling, which is often. I prefer the speed of processing email locally and the integration I can have with other local tools and scripts. All that said, I still use GMail as a sort of online archive and client when I'm away from my laptop.
