If you want to access your messages from anywhere, then a webmail can be useful. On the other hand if you have access to a mail client (laptop, pda, smartphone) then webmail can be redundant. A webmail (unless run on the LAN) will always experience some latency compared to a mail client and over a dial up, well it'll feel glacial. I have been using Kmail, which has evolved to become a pretty stable application (well, compared to what it was like 4 years ago ;p ) and have also used Opera's mail client/news agent (because it's simple, lightweight and errm . . . it's just there). On the other hand, if you also use MS Windows, then Thunderbird brings familiarity because it exists on both OS'. HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
