What is everyone's preferred method of multiple-machine email checking? (i.e. a single email account, and you want to access (send and receive) that email account from various different machines and locations.)

1) Some web-based tool like Squirrelmail
2) SSH into a server and use something terminal-based like mutt/pine

4) Other?

3) Use a rich client like Thunderbird that you install on every machine you want to check email from, and use IMAP to make everything the same

I do a bit of 1,2, and 3.
Using IMAP is the key to flexibility.  POP is dead... or should be.

My primary machine I use at work has Thunderbird installed (IMAP of course). When I am away from my primary machine I can use Webmail (http://roundcube.net). When I am not at a GUI, I always have SSH/Mutt.

Almost every client I have tried saves sent mail on the server. Some pick different names for folders (Sent, sent-mail, etc). But that is almost always configurable.
