> Problem is that all desktop email clients aren't designed that way, they want you to have a very small limited subset of email.... I have over 20 years of email stored locally in Postbox. I've kept every non-spam email since I first got online in 1997. I regularly use it to search for things people sent me (or I sent them) months or even years ago. It's really not a problem at all. I've got Postbox open right now and it's using 625MB RAM. (That's a lot compared to the Eudora days, but I have 16GB RAM now.) A desktop client on your laptop also means you can write emails & be able to search your email history while in flight mode, and queue the messages to be sent when you land & have WiFi again.
