Thank you, so I'm not that out of date. I like my Mac mail client much for what you said. The web site is loading all the garbage. My email client isn't. Plus you have to click all around on a web based email to get it to do anything. If you have 10 or 15 emails that's no big thing. But wh

You mean if any of the mail in the Gmail webmail inbox is part of a thread, you have to look at it in threaded style by thread and date/time and the rest of the email shows up by date/time? Don't think I would like that. I like having the option and usually pick simple date/time display. d

POP is faster because it doesn't have to do folder sync ... it just sends whatever it's got in the inbox folder when it's polled. A lot less to do so it happens faster. db Jeff Miles wrote: I also find web mail so slow. I deal with hundreds of emails per day. Yes, mostly spam, but they a

You really are dating yourself. The modern AJAX web mail clients are every bit as fast as a local client (since the code runs locally). This has been true for a couple years now.

I also find web mail so slow. I deal with hundreds of emails per day. Yes, mostly spam, but they are so easy to deal with in a fast email client as compared to using web mail. And this may be a stupid question. I used to be an AT&T web service tech. That was almost 10 years ago. I've forgot
