I think these two areas swamps for mail admins.  The amount of support, 
bugs, troubles, mime, attachments, templates, browsers, huge mailboxes, 
huge increase in CPU+RAM for webmail, general like of scaleability, and 
then ice that cake (or put a dense fog on that swamp) with users 
interfacing to the whole mess, and you've added a ton of extra work+costs 
vs pop access.

and somebody here wanted to charge users for POP service!  Pay them to use 
POP rather than webmail.  :))

Notice that the big outfits use free webmail as a "traffic builder".  I'd 
really like to see the costs for  hotmail and yahoo freemail operations vs 
how much revenue can be attributed to them.  I bet they are all losing 
money, big time.  and wish TH they could get out from under it.
