Exactly.  I am glad the trend is turning back from desktop clients to web ones.  Before, the common statement from web mail hosts was that the web client was for minimal use, and a desktop client was the preferred way to go.<p>As an example, I think rackspace thought this up until a few months ago.  They weren't improving their web client and just recommended you use a desktop client.  Just these past few months they have added a lot of new features.  I think they see the light now.
