Ah. I hadn't thought that many devs actually use the web UI for gmail, but perhaps they are :)
But that would defeat one of the primary purpose of using web email which is access from any machine.
Besides that, Gmail has the best UI, bar none. The handling of Conversations is what sets it apart.
That's a horrible indictment of all webmail clients, because gmail's mail editor is utter rubbish. You can't paste anything even vaguely indented (like, oh I don't know, snippets of Smalltalk) without it "helpfully" unindenting everything, it strongly discourages correct use of email (i.e., not top-posting). Its new UI is a great leap backwards compared to its older UI. But, you know, it's free, it's available from every machine I care to use, and it has the best search facility of any mail client I've ever used. (Worst ever searching: Outlook.) frank
