who'd have thought that by now, email clients are not a done-deal. It's awesome to see people still bringing out thick mail clients and people liking them. A few years back everyone rushed to move apps to the web for no-install and no-version problems, now we seem to be swinging back to thick-clients, until people once again realize the challenges of such. As the landscape changes and software distribution improves (for example the app store) it once again opens up the door to new clients.
- _neil 16y agoI was never a fan of using webmail full time, GMail included. IMAP is as 'cloud' as I'll ever need for email.
- alexqgb 16y agoDitto. If you've ever lost access to Google, you'll never rely only on webmail again. There is absolutely no way to get in touch with a responsive human there. You may mysteriously get access back after a few weeks. Or maybe not. In the meantime, their online "help forms" will direct you to other forms, none of which provide any indication about what to do in cases when Google has erred. There is literally no recourse.
