POP is faster because it doesn't have to do folder sync ... it just
sends whatever it's got in the inbox folder when it's polled. A lot
less to do so it happens faster.

I also find web mail so slow. I deal with hundreds of emails per
day. Yes, mostly spam, but they are so easy to deal with in a fast
email client as compared to using web mail.
And this may be a stupid question. I used to be an AT&T web
service tech. That was almost 10 years ago. I've forgot most, but
wasn't POP3 always faster then SMTP? Thankfully only for my only
measly little needs I no longer care much about this stuff. But on
occasion a question comes up. And if POP3 was faster, but no longer,
is it due to the wide spread use of HTML in email?
In deference to what it may seem due to my other past posts, I
like text, but only in email. Wait, I take that back. I also like to
receive a snail mail letter or card every once and awhile.

No, I haven't. But why are you trying to make it so complicated? The
rage these days - for very good reasons - is simply to use your
browser for email. No muss, no fuss.
I don't like how Gmail organizes everything by thread, with no option to
instead organize messages by time received.
