Again, Gmail Offline is a proprietary product, and stores all of your 
mail in Google's cloud.

It's perfectly reasonable for people not to want either, and make their

ecosystem surrounding them, have worked just fine for around 40 years; 
why break something that works just fine for other people as it is 
currently?
