Ah, but Apple's Mail, Thunderbird, and I believe KMail all support local 
caching of messages for "disconnected" operation.  I've enabled this on my 
laptop (OS X), and, so long as I've let it synchronize before I've gone off 
somewhere, I can search all my messages without needing to connect 
elsewhere.  Rather nice.

Though, with the power of "ajax" and modern web browsers such as Firefox, 
one could conceivably create a rich web-based email client that didn't 
suck.  Use maps.google.com as your motivation. :)
