Desktop email doesn't prevent you from using gmail, or any other
main system for that matter.
I use Thunderbird, and it allows me to access all my various email systems; some are gmail, one is yahoo mail, and one is a private email server. I access all of them at the same time through the same interface. At the same time, I can access the various email servers through their web mail interfaces. In fact, I can do both at the same time. I prefer using Thunderbird simply because it does them all at the same time.

Can I ask why anyone likes using desktop email programs? Ever since I was a kid, I've dreaded helping people with outlook, live mail, or thunderbird because of issues like you're describing.
Also people who didn't set up IMAP so their emails disappeared off their email server and only existed on their computer. Then they didn't back things up so when their computer crashed, bye bye to all their emails. Or if they bought a new computer and need to migrate, it takes an hour or two to backup and move the outlook file.
Holy crap I shiver when I think about desktop email.
Gmail.com and then move on with life. Forget about database issues, new computers, spam filtering, multiple devices per account, backups, etc.
You couldn't convince me to ever use desktop email. That's so 2001 haha

--EM Client can read the Outlook calendar invites. It's free for 1 account. Paid version if you need to check multiple accounts. Mainly it's fast, even with a large Inbox. Highly recommend.
It also syncs with my GMail Calendar.
Thunderbird performance seems inversely proportional to how much mail I have. Haven't used Outlook since the 2003 version.

So, today it appears that my Windows Live Mail database is corrupt. Can only see headers. So switching to outlook but that is painful.
I rolled back the windows update that happened last night but still dead WLM… sob…
Have resisted outlook for years. Few times it would be nice. When someone sends a meeting or contact at least I can read it without having to use a text editor and parsing through the complex crap…
