Webmail clients are less secure than local POP or IMAP clienst.

Besides, Gmail has no folders. I have tons of different types of mail that I categorize into different folders, with filters to send everything where it belongs. The best Gmail can do is labels. Labels!

Gmail is like slapping labels on your files and throwing them on the floor, desk, or wherever. All the categories are mixed together, and all the older files are buried, and you have to really dig for them. Or use Gmail search, which is like some pot smoking 18-year-old assistant you hired. Tell him to find something specific, and he'll dig around over and over again, coming back to you with a bunch of files in his arms, asking "Are these what you looking for, dude?"

Of course, they aren't. But at least they have labels.

I still use Gmail, I just check it with Thunderbird.
