I tried it for a bit. Couldn't get used to it. It just felt like an inconvenience. I'm sure it's great, it's just unfamiliar to me, and it feels a bit over-kill installing a whole big software package for no reason other than reading one mailing list. I like gmail. I've been using it for the better part of 10 years, and I can access it from anywhere. Installing client software to read email feels like I'm back on my Amiga in the 90's ;)
