With the rise of web-based email, do we really need an email client installed by default?
Do you use web-based email? If so, which one.
Comments:
Why keep emails on a computer when there is the cloud? Since GMail lets me import my mail from other servers, why should I not use it? Moreover, I can access the same email on my laptop, on my mom`s pc, on my phone or tablet.
I use both web based and computer based email clients. I see the need for both.
I don't want my business email to be hostage to web-based storage. I want to keep my own records.
In my personal experience, since I'm using GMail, I have never run Evolution again on my Ubuntu System.
Web-based email is slow and not comfortable.
People aren't ready for it not to be included – yet.
Yes we need to download and store emails for offline use.
I have not used an email client for over 5 years. Web-based works just fine.
I use Hotmail, and have my Gmail accounts downloaded into Thunderbird. I prefer the client, so I can tailor how I view the emails.
Since I have various e-mail adresses, Evolution is important.
Not being able to remove Evolution has bugged me for ages.
Only used to use email client to notify me of mail, but now use Google Mail Checker in Opera, so no need for client now.
Mixed opinion. Essential - No. But if it is necessary to have full integration, then yes. I find that I am more and more impressed with Thunderbird everyday. Still, it is not essential for default installation.
An email client is useful to access these emails in case of unavailability of Internet connection.
I want MY data (including emails) on MY computer. Do not want to hear about this “cloud” thing.
Webmail = low security, to me.
With the rise of web-based email, we need an email client which merges each email account in an unique software.
