Back in the days before I had a laptop and before wifi was prevalent,
when I traveled I would often go to an internet cafe to check my
email. I used webmail for that because I had no choice. But on my own
computer at home, I still used an e-mail client. If someone wants to
check mail on somebody else's computer, he can use webmail, but that's
no reason for him to use it at home.

I'm like that. My current email service allows IMAP and webmail access
to the same mailbox, so webmail is available if I seen to access it from
a different computer. Usually, I'm using it from a PC with Thunderbird
set up.

With gmail, I notice often when changing location with my laptop that
Thunderbird will not connect. Minutes later I get an email on another
account telling of a security violation on the gmail account, and to
clear it out, I have to login via webmail, see the alert mail, click on
a link, and say F** off, it was me.
