Webmail can be convenient when you have to use a different computer (or
let someone else use yours to check mail), although IMAP with a mail
program is better (including getting to make your own backups).


Back in the days before wi-fi access in hotels was common, when I
traveled I used to use public computers for e-mail. So I would use
webmail then. But those days are long gone: it's been years since I
needed to do that.

You would if you didn't have your own device with you, and that CAN happen.


Can? Yes. Likely? No, not all?


A double typo. Change that "No, not all? " to "No, not at all!"


The device I use for e-mail when I
travel is my smart phone, and I always have it with me.

Bat flattery? Fault, or no coverage?

If you have to use a cybercafe (do they still exist?), they're probably
not going to be too keen on you installing anything, or changing the
settings on installed software (if there even is a mail client), on
their computer. So there are circumstances where you _have_ to use
webmail. (If you want to view your email at all, that is.)
