There's a reason mobile apps are so popular versus the equivalent Web apps: Given the limited bandwidth, processing power, and interface expressiveness, the inefficiency of Web apps that desktop users are able to afford becomes too expensive, and using the phone becomes annoying. But if native apps are so much better on the phone, why not use them on the desktop too? Additionally an POP/IMAP client is more privacy friendly and has no ads. It wouldn't even have occurred to me to cite lack of ads as a feature; it's something I take for granted. Other advantages of native mail clients are offline reading and composing, and not requiring a Web browser.

You made a *false* comment, which (in my circles, at least) invites correction. Specifically, the word so above means that your ISP's contract is the cause of POP/ IMAP availability. Pointing out others' falsehoods is not arrogant; expecting that one's own errors are above correction is. And so is calling people arrogant for saying something you don't like. Josh P.S.
