I didn't mean to start some sort of email war. Sorry, but POP and IMAP are yesterday's news. My grandfather's email. An email client that can't work in any browser via AJAX and can't store my stuff in the cloud just isn't worth consideration in 2009. Except perhaps in a historical perspective; I still have a few years of email stored from Thunderbird and Eudora before that.
