but you can also access your pop3/imap on other webmail interfaces
like yahoo! mail or excite mail. maybe it's because people don't want
to re-configure their e-mail client everytime they logon to a
workstation because everybody else is using the same client.

to address the travelling professor issue. if a prof or instructor
from
the ateneo travels on a conference or goes abroad to study he/she
would
want to check his/her email from that location. webmail enables these
people to check their mail anywhere with an internet connection and a
web
browser.
