Email Client or Nothing

[Not Bman]

In your opinion, for gmail, is it better to just use gmail's main page or use a program such as Thunderbird to check emails and orgainize?

Well, although I use Outlook instead of Thunderbird, I prefer the client. However if you only have one e-mail address, GMAIL web interface is probably best because you can access everything from anywhere and it's all backed up for you. I manage several addresses, and have just used Outlook for awhile, so that is my preference.

Like DJ I use a client because I have several accounts. But even still I would use a client, mostly for offline stuff.

I've always preferred using mail clients (Outlook 2003, in my case) over webmail interfaces. I personally find webmail too limiting and unnatural, since I'm so used to drag-and-drop, context menus etc.

In the end, it's completely down to personal preference though.

That's what I thought people were going to say. I'd just like to know what people think. I have always been one of those people who love to try new things and new programs. At the moment I'm now using Thunderbird, and I really like it.

Thanks guys.
