I use anywhere from 3-10 computers in my average work day. In no way is it advantageous for me to install and configure a mail client on all of them. Especially one using IMAP, which is like running web mail, but needing a specialized piece of software to do it. And "website overhead" isn't really a reason, either (Google compresses everything such that the "overhead" is actually only a few kb. You're wasting more resources launching thunderbird than you are using gmail in a browser). It's not that I think people should "give up" real mail clients; its that I literally see no point to them outside of using POP to have a local backup. --G _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
